Concrete-Sidewalks Repair
Concrete-Sidewalks Repair
Sidewalks should not be broken, cracked and defective. Sidewalks should be even for pedestrians to walk. In New York City, property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk at their property, which includes the removal of snow, ice, or debris. Property owners may be held liable for personal injuries resulting from their failure to maintain sidewalks free of defects. It’s advisable for property owners to address sidewalk issues promptly to prevent them from escalating into defects that could lead to a Notice of Sidewalk Violation.
Signs of defective Sidewalks
- Collapsed Sidewalk
- Trip Hazard
- Improper Slope
- Patchwork
- Hardware Trip Hazard
- Tree roots growing and displacing sidewalk flags
Property owners are encouraged to address missing or defective curbs by repairing or replacing them. In some cases, the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) may undertake such repairs or replacements at no cost to the property owner. This typically occurs when the work is related to a sidewalk violation or when there is an active Curb Repair Contract in place.
