From Violation to Reinspection
Received a sidewalk violation and unsure what comes next? The process generally moves from reviewing the cited defects to completing the required sidewalk repairs and preparing the property for DOT reinspection.
Start with the violation notice and identify the sidewalk defects cited at the property.
The affected sidewalk flags are evaluated to determine which sections require repair or replacement.
Before sidewalk construction begins, the required NYC DOT sidewalk permit must be in place.
The cited concrete defects are repaired or the affected sidewalk sections are replaced as required.
After the work is completed, the property can proceed with the DOT violation-dismissal inspection process.
Tell us about the DOT notice and the sidewalk condition at your property. We can inspect the affected area and discuss the repair work that may be required.
Important: NYC DOT determines the result of the reinspection and the final status of a sidewalk violation after the required repair work is completed.
To move toward NYC DOT sidewalk violation removal, the cited sidewalk defects must first be repaired. If the work is completed by a licensed contractor under a valid sidewalk construction permit, the property owner can submit a sidewalk violation dismissal inspection request. NYC DOT removes the violation after an inspector confirms that the repair work was completed satisfactorily.
NYC DOT may issue a sidewalk violation for conditions such as loose, cracked, uneven or missing sidewalk sections, undermined concrete flags, improper slope or drainage, patchwork, or hardware protruding from the sidewalk. These defects may create unsafe or irregular walking surfaces that require repair.
In most cases, the property owner is responsible for maintaining and repairing the sidewalk next to the property. Different rules may apply to certain tree-root damage at 1-, 2- and 3-family residential properties, so the cause of the sidewalk damage should be reviewed before work begins.
Yes. When a contractor performs the repair, NYC requires the contractor to obtain the appropriate sidewalk construction permit before the work begins. The permit is also important when the property owner later requests the sidewalk violation dismissal inspection.
NYC DOT currently provides property owners 75 days to make the cited sidewalk repairs. If the defects are not repaired during that period, the City may perform the repair work and bill the property owner for the cost.
No. Completing the concrete repair does not automatically close the violation. After the work is finished, a sidewalk violation dismissal inspection must be requested. NYC DOT removes the violation once its inspector confirms that the required work was completed satisfactorily.
Yes. NY Pavers can inspect the cited sidewalk conditions and handle repair or replacement work for cracked, raised, uneven, deteriorated and damaged concrete sidewalk sections. The finished work can then be prepared for the NYC DOT reinspection and violation-dismissal process.
Yes. NYC311 states that an existing sidewalk violation or lien may interfere with the sale or refinancing of a property. Addressing the cited sidewalk defects and completing the dismissal process can help clear the outstanding violation from the property record.
