NEW ROCHELLE, NY (July 16, 2026) — A Mount Vernon roofing contractor filed a $10,275 mechanic’s lien against Robert Rubicco’s home at 3 Kensington Oval in New Rochelle after Rubicco allegedly failed to pay the bulk of a $14,575 bill for roofing materials and installation, according to records filed with the Westchester County Clerk.
A mechanic’s lien is a legal claim filed against a property by a contractor or supplier who performed work or provided materials but was not paid, and it can cloud the property’s title and complicate any future sale or refinancing until it is resolved.
The lien, Index No. 116-2018, was filed March 27, 2018, by F & J Industries, Inc. d/b/a Ram Aluminum, 34 Mount Vernon Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550. The filing names Robert Rubicco Jr. as the party who employed the lienor and the person to whom materials were furnished. The work consisted of supplying and installing roofing materials, performed Feb. 14 through March 16, 2018, according to the lien.
The total agreed price and value of the labor and materials furnished was $14,575, according to the lien. The amount unpaid at the time of filing was $10,275 — more than two-thirds of the total contract value — which is also the total amount claimed.
The property subject to the lien is identified as 3 Kensington Oval, New Rochelle, NY, Section 1, Block 115, Lot 65, in the County of Westchester, State of New York. The lien names Robert Rubicco Jr. and Christina Rubicco as property owners.
The lien was signed March 27, 2018, by Mark Nash as agent of F & J Industries, Inc. d/b/a Ram Aluminum, and notarized in Nassau County. An affidavit of service by certified mail shows the notice of mechanic’s lien was served on Robert Rubicco Jr. and Christina Rubicco at 3 Kensington Oval on March 27, 2018.
Westchester County Clerk records show no satisfaction or discharge of the lien in available records.
The F & J Industries lien is at least the third mechanic’s lien filed against the Kensington Oval property. As previously reported by Talk of the Sound, Vinylume, Inc. filed a $5,500 mechanic’s lien against the same property in June 2013 after Rubicco allegedly paid only half of an $11,000 window replacement bill, and Eastchester Electric Corp. dba Crest Electric & Home Entertainment filed a $4,595.10 mechanic’s lien in November 2019 after Rubicco allegedly failed to pay for sound system work. Neither of those liens shows a satisfaction in available records.
Editor’s note: On July 9, 2026, Robert Cox was served with four plenary summonses issued by the Irish High Court (Record Nos. 3331, 3337, 3338, and 3339/2026P) by Sheehan & Partners LLP on behalf of Rubicco-associated LLCs. Talk of the Sound continues reporting on matters of public record.
