with the GC not to obtain a permit. In Braverman, the opposite occurred: owner's contract with GC expressly required GC to get the permit.Court relied on the express breach of contract in failing to obtain permit to hold that contractor had not performed and
therefore had not earned the monies claimed in the lien. The Braverman decision was grounded on an express contractual undertaking not apparently present in the facts presented.</font></span></div>
