New York lien clock

The full day-by-day clock, with statute citations.

This is the actual policy seeded for New York. Every delinquent account locks in the rules that applied the day it opened — later statute updates never retroactively change a case already in flight.

New York lien timeline

NY Lien Law section 182

Late fee: Operator-configured fee after D+10
Notice path: Notice of Claim starts a 30-day demand clock from mailing
Sale gate: Auction permitted after the 30-day demand expires (D+45 on our default schedule)

No publication requirement; notice must travel by certified mail or by verified mail plus email — email alone is not valid service.

What UnitOps does differently for New York operators

Built around the New York statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

Notice of Claim at D+10 records the itemized charges, property description, proposed sale nature, and a demand of not less than 30 days from mailing.
The demand window through D+40 tracks any special proceeding filed by the occupant; if one lands, the case freezes for legal review rather than advancing to sale.
No newspaper publication requirement — the sale path enforces commercial reasonableness and captures method, time, and bidder count for the file.
Surplus disposition is tracked even though section 182 is silent, with documented delivery attempts held against future occupant claims.

Lien evidence packet

Built for the day you get sued.

For New York cases, the packet presents the evidence trail beside the policy snapshot that was pinned when the case opened. It lists notices, delivery proof, ledger entries, photos, and state changes in chronological order. It presents records and citations only. The downloadable sample uses fictional seeded data with redacted names and a SAMPLE watermark.
