Sidewalk Violation Repairs for New York City

As you may have realized by now, you are going to need a New York concrete contractor to work with in order to avoid or deal with a DOT violation. Whether you own a home or a business in the metropolitan area, you are responsible for the current condition of your sidewalks. Because the city has so many sidewalks, it would be impossible to keep up with the maintenance and expense associated with concrete sidewalk repair and replacement. The end result is that this gets passed on to you and you can get a violation and fines if you do not adhere to these guidelines.

This also helps prevent slip and fall injuries that could lead to lawsuits. You save a great deal of money by simply keeping up with your sidewalks as opposed to getting fines or being sued in court. The bottom line is that it is New York law that requires property owners to maintain the condition of the sidewalks on or adjacent to their property, which also means covering the costs. You will be held liable for any injuries caused by a failure to upkeep the maintenance of your sidewalk so let Eden Roofing & General Contractors help you with this.

What are DOT Sidewalk Violations?

The state of New York, particularly within the metropolitan New York City area, has a tremendous amount of sidewalk surfaces. The New York City Department of Transportation has an ongoing sidewalk repair initiative that replaces more than two million square feet of sidewalk per year. Unfortunately that is still less than 1% of the city’s total sidewalk area. For this reason, New York law requires property owners to install, repave and repair sidewalks that are adjacent to their property at their own cost. The law makes property owners potentially liable for injuries caused by failure to maintain their sidewalk.

When a sidewalk is deemed broken or severely damaged by the DOT a sidewalk violation is issued to the adjacent property owner. Sidewalk repair or installation is to be initiated within 45 days of receipt of the violation. Failure to adhere to the mandate of the violation will result in the DOT hiring a contractor to perform the necessary work and then the property owner will get billed. Failure to pay will result in a lien on the property.
