SECTION 8180-8190



8180.  (a) For the purpose of this title, completion of a work of

   (3) Cessation of labor for a continuous period of 60 days.
   (4) Recordation of a notice of cessation after cessation of labor
for a continuous period of 30 days.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if a work of improvement is
subject to acceptance by a public entity, completion occurs on
acceptance.



8182.  (a) An owner may record a notice of completion on or within
15 days after the date of completion of a work of improvement.
   (b) The notice of completion shall be signed and verified by the
owner.
   (c) The notice shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 2
(commencing with Section 8100) of Title 1, and shall also include all
of the following information:
   (1) If the notice is given only of completion of a contract for a
particular portion of the work of improvement as provided in Section
8186, the name of the direct contractor under that contract and a
general statement of the work provided pursuant to the contract.
   (2) If signed by the owner's successor in interest, the name and
address of the successor's transferor.
   (3) The nature of the interest or estate of the owner.
   (4) The date of completion. An erroneous statement of the date of
completion does not affect the effectiveness of the notice if the
true date of completion is 15 days or less before the date of
recordation of the notice.
   (d) A notice of completion that does not comply with the
provisions of this section is not effective.
   (e) For the purpose of this section, "owner" means the owner who
causes a building, improvement, or structure to be constructed,
altered, or repaired, or that person's successor in interest at the
date a notice of completion is recorded, whether the interest or
estate of the owner be in fee, as vendee under a contract of
purchase, as lessee, or other interest or estate less than the fee.
Where the interest or estate is held by two or more persons as joint
tenants or tenants in common, any one or more of the cotenants may be
deemed to be the "owner" within the meaning of this section.



8184.  A notice of completion in otherwise proper form, verified and
containing the information required by this title, shall be accepted
by the recorder for recording and is deemed duly recorded without
acknowledgment.


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.



8188.  (a) An owner may record a notice of cessation if there has
been a continuous cessation of labor on a work of improvement for at
least 30 days prior to the recordation that continues through the
date of the recordation.
   (b) The notice shall be signed and verified by the owner.
   (c) The notice shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 2
(commencing with Section 8100) of Title 1, and shall also include all
of the following information:
   (1) The date on or about which labor ceased.
   (2) A statement that the cessation has continued until the
recordation of the notice.
   (d) For the purpose of this section, "owner" means the owner who
causes a building, improvement, or structure to be constructed,
altered, or repaired, or that person's successor in interest at the
date a notice of cessation is recorded, whether the interest or
estate of the owner be in fee, as vendee under a contract of
purchase, as lessee, or other interest or estate less than the fee.
Where the interest or estate is held by two or more persons as joint
tenants or tenants in common, any one or more of the cotenants may be
deemed to be the "owner" within the meaning of this section.



8190.  (a) An owner that records a notice of completion or cessation
shall, within 10 days of the date the notice of completion or
cessation is filed for record, give a copy of the notice to all of
the following persons:
   (1) A direct contractor.
   (2) A claimant that has given the owner preliminary notice.
   (b) The copy of the notice shall be given in compliance with the
requirements of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8100) of Title 1.
   (c) If the owner fails to give notice to a person as required by
subdivision (a), the notice is ineffective to shorten the time within
which that person may record a claim of lien under Sections 8412 and
8414. The ineffectiveness of the notice is the sole liability of the
owner for failure to give notice to a person under subdivision (a).
   (d) For the purpose of this section, "owner" means a person who
has an interest in real property, or the person's successor in
interest on the date a notice of completion or notice of cessation is
recorded, who causes a building, improvement, or structure, to be
constructed, altered, or repaired on the property. If the property is
owned by two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants in common,
any one or more of the cotenants may be deemed to be the "owner"
within the meaning of this section. However, this section does not
apply to any of the following owners:
   (1) A person that occupies the real property as a personal
residence, if the dwelling contains four or fewer residential units.
   (2) A person that has a security interest in the property.
