Client refuses to pay me or subcontractors

New YorkNotice of Intent to Lien

I’m doing some work in a co-op apt. The client didn’t put her items in storage as agreed upon, forcing us to work around them. I sanded 3floors already and stained the bedroom floor. This job was supposed to take 3 weeks but took almost 3 months due to moving her items around and her constantly changing her mind on items already approved on. She went to another company and got an estimate of $6000 to complete when I informed her the changes she keeps making after approval bought the final payment to$44000. That’s when she claimed she lost her keys and needed my copy. After receiving them she asked me to remove my tools and self from her property and isn’t making any payments. As per my insurance I’m not allowed to work on her plumbing or electrical and got the appropriate company to sub the job to. She refuses to pay them also. How can I get pass this?

This is what mechanic's liens are for, depending on the facts and circumstances (and timeline), you likely have lien rights. A review of the contract is also required to assess whether you were wrongfully terminated.
