Pennsylvania Statutes Title 49 P.S. Mechanics' Liens § 1501.4. Notice of Completion for informational purposes only

(a) General Rule. Within forty-five (45) days of the actual completion of work on a searchable project, a searchable project owner may file a Notice of Completion in the directory to be indexed with the original Notice of Commencement. The notice shall be transmitted via the directory to all subcontractors who have filed Notices of Furnishing. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “actual completion of work” shall mean the following:

(b) Nonpayment. Subcontractors who have not received full payment for their work, or for goods or services, on a searchable project may file a Notice of Nonpayment with the searchable project owner or the searchable project owner's agent or the subcontractor in the directory for informational purposes only. The failure to file a Notice of Nonpayment by a subcontractor shall not be construed to affect or limit their rights under this act. Filing of a Notice of Nonpayment shall not relieve a subcontractor from complying with other written notice requirements under this act.

(c) Court. A notice of completion shall not be considered by a court in determining compliance with timing requirements under this act or in determining the completion date for a timing purpose, including limitation periods or warranty obligations.

(d) Effect. The filing of a notice of completion is purely precatory and is not dispositive of any relationship among the parties.
