Stiffed Subs Slap Liens On Developer, Leaving Recent New Home Buyers Concerned

In Silver Spring Township, Pennsylvania, The Patriot News reports:

• Residents of the Brook Meadow development in Silver Spring Twp., are worried they could lose their homes. Liens have been placed on several of the townhouses by subcontractors who claim they have not been paid by Altieri Homes, the project's developer. State law allows "mechanics' liens" to be placed on the properties, even though the homeowners have paid Altieri in full, said Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office.
