What are the rules about condo boards putting liens on owners?


Question:

Can a condo board or management company put a lien on a condo if the items the lien is for are not common assessments? This happened to me because I refused to pay for the items I was forced to replace because the replacements were not the ones promised but ones worth less than 1/4 the price and the cheaper items were damaged during installation because the installer had to alter them to fit since they were the wrong size. All common elements are paid for out of our maintenance fees and I am the only person who has this lien on my condo which says the lien is for a common assessment when in fact the lien is for non-common elements which are different than those I was to receive as proven by the serial numbers on the items installed. Does anyone know if a lien can be made up for uncommon elements since I never thought this could happen and never thought the board would not replace them with the proper ones promised but they did not and then put the lien on my condo. Any advise would be appreciated as I was amazed to see that the condo attorney called the items the lien is for common assessments which I always paid my maintenance fees and common assessments but I refused to pay for items I never received and I never received the items promised but cheaper ones that were made defective during installation.
