Native Sidewalk Repair NYC

New York City can get some pretty nasty weather in the course of a typical year, including some violent nor’easter storms that hit in winter, and maybe even a hurricane which travels all the way up the Atlantic Coast. All this weather takes a toll on buildings, roadways, and sidewalks, and it can shorten the life span of even a well-made sidewalk in your neighborhood. If you’re a business owner, you definitely don’t want to see the sidewalk in front of your establishment begin to crumble or crack, because that can lead to a DOT violation.

DOT Sidewalk Violations

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for public roadways and walkways, and when it becomes aware that your sidewalk is in need of repairs, it will immediately contact you. This is generally in the form of a warning which encourages you to make repairs that will cause the sidewalk to be safe again for pedestrians.

You will generally have 45 days to comply with this warning, and it definitely behooves you to take it seriously, and make whatever repairs have been specified in the warning. If you ignore this warning, you could be fined, and a persistent ignorance of the situation might even land you in jail. In some cases, the DOT will pay for having the work done, and then charge you a much higher fee for that work.
