Individual sources retain their own dates. **The collection now identifies 23 construction-lien filings: eleven earlier reviewed original PDFs and twelve new screenshot-supported filings recorded November 5, 2026.** The new Beacon / QXO claims identify **eleven distinct lots**. Original PDFs for all twelve remain pending; these findings come from the saved one-page county viewer screenshots and index, not downloaded PDF validation. [Browse all twelve new filings, alleged amounts, lot links and evidence limits](/records/pending-liens/). **Possible duplicate:** instruments **202622003358 and 202622003368** appear to repeat the same **$4,872.16** claim on **Block 6, Lot 45**, with the same furnishing and notice dates. Both recorded instruments are retained; they are not treated as two separate economic debts. The November 6 search package completed **24 county queries** and found **no new deeds within that query set**. Most captures display verification through **November 4**; only the final Noreast Capital search displays November 6. This is not comprehensive coverage through November 6. The package does not search permits: the last completed [occupancy review](/occupancy/) remains **81 distinct permits with COs**, and [one homebuyer closing](/closings/) remains confirmed. ## Earlier eleven PDF filings **Eleven reviewed construction-lien filings from five claimants name Okeechobee Community Developers LLC as property owner.** Four newly reviewed Beacon / QXO filings, recorded **October 28**, identify four lots and allege **$16,814.06 in stated unpaid amounts**. The four October 20–21 claims separately total $29,718.73, excluding unspecified additional charges sought by Preferred Materials. These are arithmetic sums of allegations, not verified current debts. The amounts below are claims, not judgments or confirmed balances. | Claimant / recorded date | Amount alleged unpaid | Work described | Contracting party named | | --- | ---: | --- | --- | | [Richard & Rice Construction Company, Inc. · September 25](/records/202622002881/) | $1,911,931.27 | Boys’ school concrete, masonry, lumber, shell and foundation work | Amboy Builders LLC | | [A & J Ready Mix Inc. · October 5](/records/202622003034/) | $133,611.09 | Ready-mix concrete at Lake Front Estates | Amboy Builders LLC | | [Canam Steel Corporation · October 16](/records/202622003140/) | $307,969.81 | Specially fabricated joist and deck materials | East Coast Metal Structures Corp. | | [Beacon / QXO · October 20](/records/202622003180/) | $4,176.74 | Roofing/building products · Block 6, Lot 10 | Treasure Coast Roofing | | [Preferred Materials · October 20](/records/202622003184/) | $9,326.56* | Concrete/block/rebar and related materials · Block 5, Lots 7 and 6, Duplex 483–484 | Imperial Development Group LLC | | [Preferred Materials · October 20](/records/202622003185/) | $11,764.44* | Concrete/block/rebar and related materials · Block 8, Lot 5, Emerald | Imperial Development Group LLC | | [Beacon / QXO · October 21](/records/202622003190/) | $4,450.99 | Roofing/building products · Block 6, Lot 36 | Treasure Coast Roofing | | [Beacon / QXO · October 28](/records/202622003258/) | $4,176.74 | Roofing/building products · Block 4, Lot 13 | Treasure Coast Roofing | | [Beacon / QXO · October 28](/records/202622003259/) | $4,230.29 | Roofing/building products · Block 6, Lot 39 | Treasure Coast Roofing | | [Beacon / QXO · October 28](/records/202622003260/) | $4,230.29 | Roofing/building products · Block 6, Lot 41 | Treasure Coast Roofing | | [Beacon / QXO · October 28](/records/202622003261/) | $4,176.74 | Roofing/building products · Block 6, Lot 38 | Treasure Coast Roofing | Each row is supported by PDF page 1 of the linked filing. *Preferred also requests finance charges or statutory interest, whichever applies, without stating an additional amount or rate. **The $9,326.56 duplex filing is one claim covering two lots, not $9,326.56 per lot.** Overlap between work covered by different claimants and later payments remain unestablished; the eleven amounts are not presented as a verified combined debt. ## October 28: four more roofing claims The four **Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a QXO and affiliates** claims name **Treasure Coast Roofing** as contract counterparty. Three give **July 23–31, 2026** as the furnishing period; the **Block 6, Lot 38** claim gives **July 9–31**. They state notice to the owner on **August 10** for Block 4, Lot 13 and Block 6, Lot 41, **August 11** for Block 6, Lot 39, and **July 24** for Block 6, Lot 38. All four acknowledgments are dated **October 26**. Brian Leung signs as attorney and authorized agent. Each linked filing is one page. The expressly described lots map to [Block 4, Lot 13](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0004-0130), [Block 6, Lot 39](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0006-0390), [Block 6, Lot 41](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0006-0410) and [Block 6, Lot 38](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0006-0380). Together with the five lots identified in the October 20–21 claims, nine distinct lots have an explicit lot-specific claim in this collection. The three earlier filings use broader descriptions and are not assigned to individual homes. ## October 20–21: roofing and concrete claims on identified lots **Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a QXO and affiliates** filed two claims naming **Treasure Coast Roofing** as its contract counterparty. Both describe roofing materials and/or building products furnished **July 9–23, 2026**. The Block 6, Lot 10 filing states notice to the owner by certified mail on **July 21**; the Block 6, Lot 36 filing states **July 27**. Both acknowledgments are dated October 20. **Brian Leung, Esq.** signs as attorney and authorized agent; the preparer block names **Brian A. Leung of Holcomb & Leung, P.A.** [Lot 10 claim](/records/202622003180/) · [Lot 36 claim](/records/202622003190/). **Preferred Materials Inc – Concrete** filed two claims naming **Imperial Development Group LLC**. The duplex claim gives **August 25** as both the first and last furnishing date and **September 30** for notices to the owner and contractor by certified mail. The Emerald claim gives **August 22–26** as the furnishing period and **September 24** for notices by overnight mail. **Carmen Hess**, collections manager, signs both October 20 filings. Each states the same figure for total furnished value and unpaid principal. [Duplex claim](/records/202622003184/) · [Emerald claim](/records/202622003185/). Preferred’s claims refer to the June 12 notices at **book 428, pages 49 and 43**—[instruments 202622001786](/records/202622001786/) and [202622001780](/records/202622001780/). Those notices name **Amboy Builders** as contractor; Preferred names **Imperial** as its contracting party. That does not establish a contractor replacement or the complete subcontracting chain. The duplex filing also lists a copy provided to **Great Midwest Insurance Co.** It supplies no bond, insurer decision, payment or transfer of the claim to a bond. ## Which lots and addresses are involved? The four October 20–21 filings expressly identify **five lots**. Their **28020 FL-78 / State Road 78** address is the project address. Separate county permit attachment titles associate the lots with these street addresses: - **Block 6, Lot 10:** 1763 Rashi Drive — [permit 2600204](/building-permits/2600204/) · [parcel map](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0006-0100). - **Block 6, Lot 36:** 1883 Sforno Road — [permit 2600219](/building-permits/2600219/) · [parcel map](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0006-0360). - **Block 8, Lot 5:** 1904 Sforno Road — [permit 2600488](/building-permits/2600488/) · [parcel map](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0008-0050). - **Block 5, Lots 7 and 6:** 1229 and 1239 Chevron Drive, respectively — [permit 2600495](/building-permits/2600495/) · [Lot 7](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0005-0070) · [Lot 6](/parcel-map/?parcel=S34-38-34-001-0005-0060). These street addresses come from the separately linked permit records, not the lien text. Each map link matches an expressly described lot; it does not decide enforceability or establish present title status. **Block 6, Lot 36 is different from Block 5, Lot 36**, the home with the previously reported [October 8 CO](/news/first-certificate-of-occupancy/). None of the eight October 20–28 claims identifies **Block 6, Lot 2**, the [1464 Alfasi Drive closing](/news/first-recorded-home-closing/). The three earlier filings below use broader attached property descriptions. Canam identifies an East Coast Metal Structures purchase order. Richard & Rice and A & J identify Amboy contracts. Only Richard & Rice specifically labels its work as the boys’ school. ## Canam Steel: joist and deck materials **Canam Steel Corporation** alleges **$307,969.81** unpaid out of a stated furnished value of **$311,290.38**. Its claim describes **joist and deck, specially fabricated materials**, supplied under a purchase order with **East Coast Metal Structures Corp.** It gives **June 22, 2026** as the first furnishing date and **July 20** as the last. Its conditional Notice to Owner statement gives **June 2** as the service date if such notice was required. [PDF page 1](/records/202622003140/). The acknowledgment is dated **October 15, 2026**. Glades County recorded the claim on **October 16 at 9:20 a.m.**, instrument **202622003140**, book **432**, pages **326–329**. **Jennifer Porter**, identified as Canam’s agent and Director of Credit & Collections, signs the claim. The preparer block names **Alex DePriest of Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani**. [PDF pages 1–2](/records/202622003140/). The property is identified as **Lake Front Estates, 28020 FL-78, Okeechobee**, with the lot description referred to Exhibit A. That exhibit describes **Harvey St Okeechobee Land Acquisitions (Parcel 1)** by metes and bounds, with an FDOT right-of-way exception. It retains November 2021 recording stamps beneath the current October 2026 stamps; those older stamps belong to the attached description, not the date of Canam’s lien. The filing does not identify which particular building received the materials or establish the full contracting chain. [PDF pages 1, 3–4](/records/202622003140/). ## Richard & Rice: boys’ school work The sworn claim is dated **September 23, 2026** and was recorded by Glades County on **September 25 at 10:04 a.m.**, in Official Records book 431, page 252. The three-page PDF was supplied for this review October 13. The amount is the contractor’s allegation as of its claim, not an adjudicated award or a verified October 13 balance. Richard & Rice describes concrete, masonry, lumber, shell and foundation construction, with related labor, materials and services. It identifies the improvement as **“Lake Front Estates Boys School”** at **(28020) E. State Road 78**. The claimant states a total furnished value of **$2,715,353.70**, of which it alleges **$1,911,931.27** is unpaid. It gives **March 1, 2026** as the first furnishing date and **September 11, 2026** as the last. It also states that notice to the owner and general contractor was sent by certified mail March 3. Company president Murray C. Rice signed the sworn statement. [PDF page 1](/records/202622002881). These figures describe the work covered by this claim. They are not the total school budget, the total development cost or a calculation of the developer’s overall debts. ## A & J Ready Mix: concrete supply The three-page **A & J Ready Mix Inc.** claim is instrument **202622003034**, recorded **October 5, 2026 at 4:09 p.m.**, book 431, pages 1029–1031. Its acknowledgment is dated **September 25**. **Juan Bentancor** signs as owner of the lienor and appears in the preparer block. [PDF page 1](/records/202622003034/). The filing describes **ready-mix concrete** furnished under a contract with **Amboy Builders LLC**. It states that the total furnished value and the amount remaining unpaid are both **$133,611.09**. It gives **July 16–August 12, 2026** as the furnishing period and **August 10** as the notice-service date, by certified mail and/or common-carrier delivery. The location is identified as **Lake Front Estates, 28020 FL-78**. Its attached legal description is labeled **Harvey St Okeechobee Land Acquisitions (Parcel 1)**, with an FDOT right-of-way exception. The filing does not isolate a specific residential lot or label the concrete as school work. [PDF pages 1–3](/records/202622003034/). ## The property description needs careful treatment Richard & Rice’s first page identifies school work, but its attached Exhibit A uses a metes-and-bounds description labeled **Parcel 1**, with an exception for an FDOT right-of-way donation. It does not simply name a platted school tract. [PDF pages 2–3](/records/202622002881). The difference matters for reporting the filing’s scope. The school label should not be converted into a parcel map without reviewing the legal description, and the exhibit should not be presented as proof that every Lakefront home is encumbered. ## How this fits the earlier construction record The earlier [boys’ school notice of commencement, instrument 202622000784](/records/202622000784), names **Red Ridge Construction**. This lien instead identifies a contract between Richard & Rice and Amboy Builders. Both names belong in the record, with their respective sources and dates. The documents alone do not establish a contractor replacement date or the complete chain of contracts and subcontracts. The [construction reporting](/news/who-builds-lakefront) separately describes the permit and contractor evidence. A notice of commencement, a permit and a lien claim record different aspects of the work. ## What remains unknown The reviewed materials establish no response, payment confirmation, satisfaction, release, bond transfer, foreclosure docket or judgment resolving these eleven allegations. Whether any amount was disputed, paid, settled or otherwise resolved remains unestablished. The register contains **283 instruments: 282 available PDFs with 1,266 pages, plus one unavailable index-only judgment**. The [county register](/records/#coverage) gives the current records coverage date and search scope, including the broader developer-name search that supplied the latest package. It is not a comprehensive search of every contracting party and court docket. The **October 2 EB-5 partial release**, [instrument 202622002986](/records/202622002986/), releases **Block 6, Lot 2** from specified project mortgages and assignments. It does **not** release these construction-lien claims. Its connection to the home transaction is explained in the [closing article](/news/first-recorded-home-closing/#the-lots-release-from-project-mortgages). The **October 29 bulk deeds** convey three lots also identified in these claims: **Block 6, Lot 36** to OCD RENT OP 3 LLC, and **Block 4, Lot 13** and **Block 6, Lot 38** to OCD RENT OP 4 LLC. Their accompanying project-mortgage releases cover those lots, but do not release the construction-lien claims. The [33-lot transfer report](/news/october-lot-transfers/) explains that overlap and the separate missing exhibit in another partial release. A deed or project-mortgage release does not, by itself, establish payment or settlement of a supplier claim. The filings document sworn nonpayment allegations concerning work furnished earlier in the year. The additional October recording dates do not, by themselves, establish new construction, insolvency, a work stoppage or a change in occupancy status.
