You may be able to file an "aritsan's lien" and then foreclose on it. Once done, you can sell it, and if it does not bring enough to pay for your expenses and your work, then you can sue the owner for the difference. Of course, if you get more than what you would otherwise be paid, you have to refund the difference.
