This status follows a missed 75-day repair window: once DOT's contractor finishes the work, DOF issues a bill, and the owner has 90 days to pay before interest starts and a formal lien attaches to the property. A lien status is more serious than an open violation for resale purposes, since it represents an actual debt tied to the deed rather than just an outstanding repair obligation. Paying the bill in full is generally the only way to clear this status.
