depends on your state, but usually mechanics liens are for private citizens, you need to file a claim against a City entity (call them get a form), then if they reject/deny your claim you have to file a law suit. If you are a contractor its a particular form and you have to file to enforce it (i.e. they owe you money for a job you performed). What's your beef?

Hopefully you purchased a home warranty through your realtor when you purchased the home they are very inexpensive. Your recourse would be to file a claim on the home warranty offered to you when you made your home purchase.
