Received a DOT sidewalk violation notice? You have only 75 days to fix it before the city takes over and charges you 3x more — plus places a lien on your property. We handle everything: permits, repairs, reinspection, and final DOT sign-off. 100% violation removal guaranteed.
After 75 days, the city repairs it and sends you a bill far larger than market rate.
The city charges up to 3 times the market rate when they do the repairs for you.
We guarantee removal. If any issue arises from DOT, we fix it again at no cost.
A DOT sidewalk violation means the NYC Department of Transportation has found defects on the sidewalk adjacent to your property that violate city safety codes.
Under NYC law, property owners — not the city — are responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their buildings. The violation notice includes a violation diagram showing exactly which sidewalk flags or sections need to be repaired. You must repair these specific areas using a licensed contractor, obtain proper DOT permits, and pass a DOT reinspection — all within 75 days.
Common causes of DOT sidewalk violations include cracks wider than 1/2 inch, uneven slabs creating trip hazards, holes deeper than 1 inch, tree root damage, improper drainage, and missing or broken concrete sections.
After the 75-day deadline, NYC DOT hires its own contractor and charges you at a much higher rate. This cost is added to your property taxes as a tax lien. It can also affect your ability to sell or refinance your property and may create personal injury liability if someone trips and falls.
⚠️ DO NOT IGNORE THIS NOTICE
A tax lien on your property means the city has a legal claim against it. This can block property sales, refinancing, and may lead to foreclosure in extreme cases. One call to us resolves the entire issue — fast, professionally, and at fair market pricing.

You have 75 days from the date on your violation notice. After this deadline, the city hires its own contractor and charges you at a much higher rate, plus places a lien on your property that can affect your ability to sell or refinance.
Cost depends on the scope of repairs in your violation diagram. Sidewalk repair runs $8–$25 per sq ft; slab replacement $1,700–$2,500; curb repair $50–$80 per LF. All prices include permits and DOT reinspection. Call (718) 682-6680 for a free estimate.
Repairing a sidewalk yourself is not feasible — the process requires permit acquisition, proper materials, licensed concrete work, and passing a DOT reinspection. Hiring a licensed DOT contractor is the only reliable path to violation removal.
If the damage was caused by city-owned tree roots, contact 311 to report the issue. NYC Parks may be responsible for those repairs. We can advise you on your specific situation — call (718) 682-6680.
