He has ninety days from the date the statement of account was recorded to file suit. He has thirty days thereafter to record a certified copy of the complaint.
If he does not file suit the lien is dissolved by operation of law. Unless you are getting pressured by the owner, ae the sub is willing to negotiate, consider
doing nothing until the ninety days expires.

I don't know of any method of withdrawing a Notice of Specially Fabricated Materials Under G.L .c 149 s. 29. If this is the notice you sent, it is not technically a
notice that a debt is overdue but a notice that is required by statute to be sent in order to activate your right to seek payment on the bond for the project in
the event you are not paid.

The lien waiver is likely conditional on payment. If you did not get paid, it is not effective. See More...

A few of the requirements to ien a project are that you have to have a written contract, and this can be a collection of documents, like a PO and
acknowledgement, and you have to record your lien and give the owner notice before the expiration of certain deadlines. An explanation of the entire lien
process is beyond the scope of an online question and answer forum like this. I suggest you contact an attorney or a service that records mechanic's liens
