Failure to maintain sidewalks can result in fines up to $10,000 and liability for pedestrian injuries. Learn more about NYC sidewalk violation fines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at Info@nycsidewalkviolation.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes, in most cases you need a Sidewalk Construction Permit. A permit is required if the repair area is more than 25 square feet or if the repair is being done specifically to remove a violation. Our team files all permits, sketches, and approvals with the DOT on your behalf.
The timeline depends on the scope of work and permit approvals. In general, most sidewalk violation repairs in NYC can be completed within 2–4 weeks, including inspection and dismissal. We'll give you a clear timeline during your initial inspection.
By law, property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks next to their properties. This includes homeowners, landlords, and businesses. The only exception is when damage is caused by a city tree—in those cases, NYC Parks may handle the repair.
Costs vary depending on the number of defective flags, size of the area, and whether permits are required. On average, sidewalk repair in NYC ranges from $10–$25 per square foot. We provide a detailed estimate so you'll know exactly what to expect.
