Sidewalks repaired to DOT specifications
In New York City the property owner is responsible for the sidewalk next to the property. Cracked, raised or sunken flags are a trip hazard, and when a DOT inspector finds them the owner receives a Notice of Sidewalk Violation.
We remove the defective flags, prepare the base and pour new concrete to DOT specifications. We take care of the sidewalk permit and help you request the dismissal inspection, so the violation is cleared rather than just patched over.

Sidewalk Repair & Installation questions
How long do I have to fix a sidewalk violation?
NYC DOT gives property owners 75 days from receipt of the Notice of Sidewalk Violation to make the repair. If the work is not done, the City may repair the sidewalk and bill you.
Is there a fine for a sidewalk violation?
No. A sidewalk violation carries no fine, but it stays on the property record until the repair is confirmed, which can complicate a sale or refinance.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes. Sidewalk repairs need a DOT sidewalk construction permit. We obtain it and build the sidewalk to DOT specifications.
