[RPPTL-constructionlaw] FW: Broward - request for CLC Pro Bono case placement - lien defense

[RPPTL constructionlaw]

CLCers,

We have a request for a pro bono placement for an elderly retiree living on a fixed income and dealing with a $31k construction lien on her personal residence.  The residence is located in Broward County.  The details are below and in the attachments.  If you or one of your colleagues are interested, please reach out to Elizabeth Ferguson or myself.  Thanks, Reese

Broward has a case of a 70 yoa senior client with a construction lien issue. Ms. Gesualdo is a senior who is a low fixed income and receives $976 per month via her social security retirement pension. Carpe Diem, the contractor, solicited business from Ms. Gesualdo on February 10, 2021. The contractor filed a Notice of Commencement on February 16, 2021. However, no work/repairs were done nor were supplies delivered to Ms. Gesualdo’s property. The contractor, Carpe Diem, recorded a lien in the amount of $31,185 on April 28, 2021.  Currently, Ms. Gesualdo is trying to renew her policy with Citizens Insurance to avoid force placed insurance from being assessed on her mortgage. Citizens Insurance has refused to renew her policy unless she repairs her roof. Ms. Gesualdo had applied for PACE loan but was denied assistance due to the lien on her property.

[From Chanel] I attached the memo for the pre-litigation construction lien foreclosure case that I was telling you about. If you know anyone who may be interested in assisting, I can ask our staff to assist me to formally refer the file over to them through our program. We are grateful for your taking the time to review it.
If I can be of any assistance or address any questions/concerns, please feel free to reach out any time. We look forward to working with you and your colleagues in the Construction Law Section!
Sincerely,

Chanel A. Winter, Esq. | Pro Bono Coordinator
