OAR 812-004-1530
Construction Lien Complaints

(1)

The agency may schedule one or more on-site meetings or telephone mediations among the parties to a construction lien complaint filed under ORS 701.145 (Resolution of complaints involving work on residential structures or certain small commercial structures) for the purpose of discussing settlement of the complaint. Notice of the meeting must comply with OAR 812-004-1450 (On-site Meeting and Telephone Mediation; Attendance of the Complainant)(1). The agency may invite the lienor to participate in the settlement discussions. The on-site meeting may be held on the property of the complainant or another mutually agreeable site. OAR 812-004-1450 (On-site Meeting and Telephone Mediation; Attendance of the Complainant)(2), (3) and (4) apply to an on-site meeting held under this section.

(2)

If the complaint does not settle, the complainant must:

(a)

Join the respondent in an action to foreclose the lien if the lienor has filed such an action; or

(b)

File an action against respondent to recover damages caused by respondent’s failure to pay for material, rental services, labor or subcontractor services that gave rise to the lien.

(3)

The agency will suspend processing the complaint while the complainant complies with section (2) of this rule. If complainant fails, within 60 days from the date of the last on-site meeting or telephone mediation, to comply with section (2) of this rule, the agency may close the complaint. The agency may extend the time to comply with section (2) for good cause.

(4)

While the court action described in section (2) is proceeding, the complainant must comply with OAR 812-004-1520 (Processing of Complaint Based on Judgments and Bureau of Labor and Industries Final Orders).

(5)

If a construction lien complaint involves the same facts and issues as any other open complaint, the agency must process the complaints together.
