New York Satisfaction of Mechanics's Lien is a legal document used in the state of New York to record the complete satisfaction of a mechanic's lien. A mechanic's lien is a legal claim placed against a property by a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or laborer who has provided labor or materials to improve a property but has not been compensated. In order to clear the lien from the property, the lien holder must file a Satisfaction of Mechanics's Lien, which is a document that acknowledges the debt has been paid. The most common types of New York Satisfaction of Mechanics's Lien are the Full Satisfaction and the Partial Satisfaction. A Full Satisfaction is used when the debt has been paid in full and the lien is completely cleared from the property. A Partial Satisfaction is used when the debt has been paid, but not in full. In this case, the lien is partially cleared, and the remaining balance is still due.
