A subcontractor prepares a mechanics' lien claim. Which of the following items is REQUIRED on the face of the lien?

Explanation

§8416(a) lists what a claim of mechanics lien must contain, and every item is about the claim itself: a statement of the claimant's demand after deducting all just credits and offsets, the name of the owner or reputed owner if known, a general statement of the kind of work furnished, the name of the person who employed the claimant or to whom it furnished work, a description of the site sufficient for identification, the claimant's address, a completed proof of service affidavit, and the NOTICE OF MECHANICS LIEN in at least 10-point boldface type — the whole statement signed and verified by the claimant. Nothing in it calls for the owner's loan details, so (a) is invented; nothing calls for other subcontractors' licence numbers, which is (b); and the contract is evidence rather than a lien requirement, which is (c). §8410 is the separate condition that trips claimants up: a lien is enforceable only where the preliminary notice was given and proof of it made.
