Sidewalk Repair That Protects Your Property
In New York City, the owner of a property is responsible for the sidewalk in front of it. That covers cracked, raised and broken flags. We break out the damaged flags, prepare the base and pour new concrete to city standards, so the walk is safe again and your risk goes down.
Most damage we see comes from tree roots lifting the slabs, water freezing inside cracks over the winter, and heavy trucks rolling over the curb. A hairline crack turns into a raised edge. A raised edge turns into a trip hazard, and often into a violation.
- Cracked concrete
- Uneven sidewalk
- Tree root damage
- Broken slabs
- Trip hazards
- Surface deterioration
Under the NYC Administrative Code, owners of most commercial and multi family buildings can be held liable when someone is hurt on a sidewalk that was not kept in repair. Owner occupied one, two and three family homes have some protection from that liability, but the duty to repair still applies. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the city.
Sidewalk Violations
Received a NYC Sidewalk Violation?
A sidewalk violation is a notice from the NYC Department of Transportation saying the sidewalk in front of your property has defects that must be fixed. You can hire a private contractor to do the repair. If it is not done, the city can make the repair itself and bill the property owner.
We read the notice with you, mark every defective flag and give you a written price. We file for the sidewalk permit, do the work to city specifications and give you the photos and paperwork you need to ask DOT to dismiss the violation.
Dismissal steps and timing are set by DOT and can change. Confirm the current process with the city.

Before and After
What a New Sidewalk Looks Like
Drag the slider to compare the same sidewalk before and after our crew replaced it, outside a rental building in Sunnyside, Queens. A finished job should sit flat with the flags next to it, drain toward the curb and have straight, even joints.
Look closely at the edges. A good repair meets the neighboring flags and the curb without a lip. That lip is exactly what trips people and what inspectors look for.

FAQ
Sidewalk Repair Questions We Hear Most
In most cases the property owner is. The NYC Administrative Code puts the duty to install, repair and maintain the sidewalk in front of a property on its owner. Details can change, so confirm the current rules with NYC DOT.
It depends on the square footage, how many flags need replacing, tree roots, curb work and permit needs. We do not guess at prices without seeing the site. Our on site estimate is free and comes in writing.
A typical sidewalk replacement takes one to two weeks, including the permit and curing time. The permit usually takes two to three business days. Longer sidewalks, tree work and landmark blocks can add time, and we give you the schedule in writing.
Sidewalk work in NYC generally needs a permit from DOT. We take care of the permit for the jobs we do. If you plan the work another way, check the current permit rules with the city first.
The violation stays on the property record, which can come up when you sell or refinance. The city can also make the repair and bill the property owner. Read our sidewalk violation guide for the full process.
Tree roots, water that freezes in cracks during the winter and heavy loads are the most common causes. A weak base under an old repair also makes new cracks appear quickly.
