California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 4 — General Provisions, Part 6 — Works of Improvement, Title 2 — Private Works of Improvement, Chapter 1 — General Provisions, Article 3 — Completion, Section 8186
If a work of improvement is made pursuant to two or more direct contracts, each covering a portion of the work of improvement:
(a) The owner may record a notice of completion of a direct contract for a portion of the work of improvement. On recordation of the notice of completion, for the purpose of Sections 8412 and 8414, a direct contractor is deemed to have completed the contract for which the notice of completion is recorded and a claimant other than a direct contractor is deemed to have ceased providing work.
(b) If the owner does not record a notice of completion under this section, the period for recording a claim of lien is that provided in Sections 8412 and 8414.
Notes
Allows an owner, when work is performed under multiple direct contracts, to record a notice of completion for a particular contract portion, treating that contractor as complete and other claimants as having ceased work for lien deadlines. If no such notice is recorded, the ordinary referenced lien-recording periods apply.
