STEEPLECHASE SUBDIVISION HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION V. THOMAS
PROPERTY:  Mechanics lien does not include services provided by contractor (mowing, etc).
2006-CA-002146
PUBLISHED: REVERSING
PANEL: THOMPSON PRESIDING JUDGE; BUCKINGHAM, HENRY CONCUR
COUNTY: BOONE
DATE RENDERED: 2/08/2008

Steeplechase Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc. appealed from an order and judgment awarding judgment on a mechanic’s lien asserted against a common area in the Steeplechase Subdivision on which the neighborhood clubhouse and swimming pool are located. Steeplechase asserts that the lien is not enforceable under KRS 376.010. Because the lien was for maintenance, street cleaning services, and mowing services, CPA held that it was unenforceable and reverse as services provided by contractor could not give rise to mechanics’ lien.
