Contractor files claim against Pittsburgh Hilton owner

P.J. Dick Inc. has filed a claim against the owner of the Pittsburgh Hilton, saying that the contractor is owed $1 million in unpaid work on the hotel addition project.

Filed in Allegheny County, the mechanics' lien asserts that P.J. Dick contracted with Shubh Hotels LLC in December 2007 to provide demolition, excavation, concrete and structural steel work at the hotel site.

Then, the companies entered into an additional contract in February.

According to the filing, P.J. Dick's last day on the site was Sept. 19. The company claims that Shubh owes $1,026,000 in unpaid bills.
