§ 58-30a13 — Notice of lien for owner; failure to provide

(a) Within 10 days of recording the notice of lien, the broker shall mail a copy of the notice of the lien to the owner of record of the commercial real estate or the agent thereof at the address of the owner stated in the written agreement on which the claim for lien is based. If no address is given, such notice shall be mailed to the address of the real estate on which the claim of lien is based. If the notice of lien is recorded within 10 days prior to closing, the broker is not required to mail or personally serve a copy of the notice of lien. Mailing a copy of the notice of lien is effective when deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid.
(b) The broker's lien shall be unenforceable if mailing or service of a copy of notice of lien does not occur at the time and in the matter required by this section. The broker's lien is void if the broker does not record the lien as provided in this act.
