No, there is no obligation to file a mechanics lien claim after sending a Notice of Intent to Lien. In fact, an NOI isn't a required step in the mechanics lien process in Hawaii. It is an optional letter used to inform the owner of the payment issue, and that you are willing to file a claim if need be.
