What are DOT Sidewalk Violations?

A DOT sidewalk violation means the city has found a problem with the sidewalk next to your property that could be unsafe or not up to city standards. This could be due to cracks, uneven surfaces, holes, or damage from tree roots. Property owners are responsible for fixing these issues to keep sidewalks safe and avoid penalties.

Violations are usually issued for cracks wider than ½ inch, uneven slabs, holes deeper than 1 inch, or sidewalk damage caused by tree roots and drainage problems.

You typically have 75 days to hire a licensed contractor and complete the repairs according to DOT rules. Permits may be required depending on the work.

If repairs aren’t done on time, the city can fix the sidewalk and charge you a higher fee added to your property taxes. Ignoring violations can also lead to legal risks if someone gets hurt.

All Violation Questions Answered

Repairing a sidewalk yourself is often not feasible due to significant complexities. The process involves permit acquisition, sourcing and transporting concrete, demanding physical labor like breaking and removing old slabs, and ensuring compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) standards and local ordinances. Given these requirements and potential for non-compliance, hiring a qualified contractor is generally the recommended approach.

When hiring a sidewalk contractor, look for:

  • Licensing and Insurance: Ensure they are licensed for your area and carry general liability and worker's compensation insurance.
  • Sidewalk-Specific Experience: Verify they have a track record of similar sidewalk projects.
  • Knowledge of Local Codes & Permits: They should understand and handle local regulations and permit processes.
  • Detailed Written Contract: Get a clear contract outlining the scope, cost, materials, timeline, and any warranties.
  • References: Check reviews and ask for references from past clients.
  • Multiple Quotes: Obtain several bids to compare.

 If you suspect a city tree is damaging your sidewalk, your first and most important step is to contact your local municipal government (Public Works, Parks, or 311) to report the issue and understand their specific policies and procedures. They will guide you on the next steps regarding inspection, responsibility, and repair.
