Please Note: If the vehicle was towed at the request of a police official, Section 184(2) of the Lien Law Requires the towing company to notify the vehicle owner by certified mail, return receipt requested, within 5 working days from the initial towing, that the garage is in possession of the vehicle. A person who mails this notice within the five-day period is entitled to a lien for storage from the date of initial towing; a person who fails to mail the notice within the five-day period is only entitled to a lien for storage form the date the notice was mailed.
