Common interest developments: mechanics liens.The California Constitution establishes a lien upon the property upon which mechanics, persons furnishing materials, artisans, and laborers of every class have bestowed labor or furnished material for the value of the labor done and materials furnished. The Legislature is required to provide for the speedy and efficient enforcement of these liens. The Davis-Sterling Common Interest Development Act and the Commercial and Industrial Common Interest Development Act provide for the creation and regulation of common interest developments. These acts define a common interest development to include a condominium project, planned development, and stock cooperative. The acts also define, for purposes of the acts, a separate interest in a condominium project, planned development, and stock cooperative. These acts prohibit, in a condominium project, a mechanics lien from being filed against any other property of an owner in the condominium project unless that owner has expressly consented to or requested the performance of the labor or furnishing of the materials or services, except in the case of emergency repairs to the condominium.This bill would instead prohibit, in a common interest development, a mechanics lien from being filed against another owner in the common interest development unless that consent was provided or that request was made, except in the case of emergency repairs.Existing law authorizes the owner of a condominium to remove that owners condominium from a lien filed against 2 or more condominiums or any part thereof by payment to the holder of the lien the fraction of the total sum secured by lien that is attributable to the owners condominium. Existing law also provides that an owner of real property or an owner of any interest in real property subject to a recorded claim of lien, or a direct contractor or subcontractor affected by the claim of lien, that disputes the correctness or validity of the claim may obtain release of the real property from the claim of lien by recording a lien release bond.This bill would authorize the owner of a separate interest in a common interest development to remove the separate interest from a lien against 2 or more separate interests by either paying to the holder of the lien the fraction of the total sum secured by lien that is attributable to the owners separate interest or recording a lien release bond, as specified.This bill would also deem the governing association of a common interest development to be an agent of the owners of separate interests in the common interest development with respect to a work of improvement on a common area for all notices and claims required pursuant to existing law relating to works of improvement.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
