Fix Your NYC Sidewalk Violation — Done Right the First Time.
DOT sent the notice. The clock is ticking. We handle the permit, the repair, and the dismissal inspection — across all five boroughs and Long Island — and we pass on the first re-inspection.
What happens if you miss it?
- City crews perform emergency repair — plain concrete only
- Cost goes on your property tax bill at 2-3× contractor rate
- Violation stays open, blocking refinance & sale
- Liability exposure if someone trips before repair
Every violation type, every borough.
Most contractors do plain concrete and walk away. We handle the permit, the inspection, and the dismissal paperwork.

Learn moreFive steps. One first-time pass.
"Fixing" a violation legally means three things — permit, physical repair, and a dismissal inspection. Miss any one and the violation stays open. Here's exactly how we run a job.
- STEP 1
Free same-day assessment
We measure the violation, photograph it, and pull your PIR (Pavement Inspection Record) from the DOT portal so we know exactly what was cited.
- STEP 2
Fixed written quote
You get a per-square-foot price in writing — including permit, demo, disposal, and dismissal inspection coordination.
- STEP 3
DOT permit pulled
We pull the sidewalk repair permit in your name (or ours). Historic districts get an LPC permit on top.
- STEP 4
Repair done to spec
Full slab cut along control joints, 4-inch sub-base, #4 rebar where required, 4000 PSI concrete mix, broom finish or pigmented per zone.
- STEP 5
Dismissal inspection
We schedule the DOT re-inspection and meet them on site. First-time pass — violation closed in the city's system.
All 5 boroughs + Long Island.
Based in Roosevelt, NY. We're one of the only sidewalk violation specialists actively serving Nassau and Suffolk — every NYC contractor stops at the Queens line.
Questions property owners ask.
Don't see yours? Call us — most assessments take 10 minutes.
(516) 348-5145How long do I have to fix a NYC sidewalk violation?+
DOT gives property owners 75 days from the date the violation was issued. After day 75, the city can perform emergency repairs at your expense and the cost goes on your tax bill — usually 2-3× a private contractor.
Do you do same-day assessments?+
Yes. Call before noon and we can have a crew at your property the same day across all five boroughs and Long Island. The written assessment is free.
What does 'first-time pass' mean?+
When DOT re-inspects after a repair, the work either passes and the violation is dismissed, or it fails and the violation stays open. Our process — proper PIR cut lines, 4000 PSI mix, full slab replacement where required — is built to pass on the first re-inspection.
Does the city fix sidewalk violations for free?+
Only in narrow cases: tree-root damage in front of an owner-occupied Tax Class 1 home, through the NYC Parks Trees & Sidewalks Program. Everyone else hires a contractor.
Do you handle historic district sidewalks?+
Yes. Landmark districts require LPC approval before any repair. We coordinate the LPC permit, source matching materials (bluestone, brick, pigmented concrete), and use private crews — city crews only pour plain concrete.
Do you handle ADA-compliant repairs?+
Yes. Curb ramp slopes (1:12), 36-inch minimum widths, detectable warning surfaces, and pigmented concrete in C4-7/C5/C6 commercial zones. Required for most commercial and many residential properties.
Do you serve Long Island?+
Yes — Nassau and Suffolk County. We're based in Roosevelt, NY and cover Long Island plus all five NYC boroughs.
What does a NYC sidewalk fix cost?+
Most residential jobs run $12-$18 per square foot for standard concrete; historic district and ADA pigmented concrete runs $25-$45 per square foot. We give a fixed written quote before any work starts — no surprises.
