Discovering a sidewalk violation from the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) on your property can be stressful. But don’t worry! For over 37 years, Zicklin Contracting has been the top contractor New York City property owners trust to resolve these issues quickly, correctly, and affordably. We service all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and NYC.
This guide will walk you through what a sidewalk violation means and how our expert team makes the correction process seamless for you.
What is a Sidewalk Violation?
A sidewalk violation is a notice from the DOT that identifies a hazardous condition on the sidewalk adjacent to your property that you, as the property owner, are responsible for repairing. Common issues include:
- Cracks and Tripping Hazards: Uneven pavement or fissures exceeding a half-inch.
- Surface Damage: Broken, chipped, or spalled concrete.
- Improper Slope: Sections that do not meet the city’s grading standards.
- Missing Sections: Gaps or holes in the walking path.
Ignoring a violation is not an option. The Department of Transportation officially requires sidewalk violations to be satisfied within 45 days of issuance. Failure to comply can lead to penalties, and the city may eventually hire a contractor to do the work and bill you for the cost, plus administrative fees.
