[Fredslist] Mechanics Liens and Willful Exaggeration

[Robert Politzer]

Gotham Legal Experts:

Would the inclusion of interest charges and collection fees from a
construction subcontractor in a mechanics lien constitute Willful
Exaggeration, especially if such fees were not contractually agreed upon?

Would the case for Willful Exaggeration be strengthened due to a code
violation that had not been addressed by the subcontractor at the time that
the lien was placed?
