DOF billing follows directly from a missed 75-day repair window: DOT performs or contracts the work, then forwards the cost, plus an administrative charge, to DOF for collection. The owner has 90 days from the bill date to pay before interest starts accruing, and an unresolved bill becomes a lien against the property. This bill is typically higher than what a private licensed contractor like QuickFix Sidewalk NYC would charge for the same repair, since city-administered work carries added administrative costs.
