A notice of commencement was recorded, but no work actually starts for more than 90 days. What should the PM verify before relying on it?
Correct Answer
C) Verify whether the old notice is void before inspections continue
Chapter 713 states that a notice may become void if the improvement does not actually commence within 90 days.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Chapter 713 states that a notice may become void if the improvement does not actually commence within 90 days.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Whether the original bid bond premium can be reused as the lien-law filing

Option B: Whether the subcontractor schedule of values can extend the recorded notice automatically
Whether the subcontractor schedule of values can extend the recorded notice automatically does not satisfy the required party, deadline, proof, license, bond, insurance, or agency trigger for notice effective period.
Option D: Whether the punch list can replace recording requirements after occupancy
Whether the punch list can replace recording requirements after occupancy does not satisfy the required party, deadline, proof, license, bond, insurance, or agency trigger for notice effective period.
Memory Technique
