You can't file mechanic's liens just because you claim that someone owes you money. For example, if you loan someone money and he doesn't repay it, you can't file a mechanic's lien. Also, if someone owes you money for constructing an addition to his house in Queens, you can't file a mechanic's lien against his house on Long Island. Mechanic's liens must relate to work done on the property you lien.
