Got Screwed By Someone Who Hired Me

I would be looking into filing a lien on the building.

When they start getting letters from the county tax collector about the lien, I'd be willing to bet that that will increase their willingness to pay.

Yes, I could. If I get paid, I get paid. I did the job expecting to get burned. I have forgiven them. Anger and frustration would take more from my life than the little time spent on the repair and the correspondence attempting to get paid for a job I had little expectation of being paid for.

I agree with this. You would be sending a message that they can't get away with this. I'm not sure if you can add interest on that type of "mechanics" lien. But then if they ever want to sell the building. you will get paid. They are banking on the fact that they can get away with this behavior.
