Got an NYC DOT Sidewalk Violation? Don't Ignore It!
That cracked or uneven sidewalk outside your Brooklyn property could be more than an everyday maintenance problem.
If NYC DOT has issued a sidewalk violation notice, there are specific steps you need to follow.
Here's where to start:
1. Read the notice carefully. Understand which sidewalk defects have been identified.
2. Check the deadline. Property owners generally have 75 days from receiving the notice to address the issue.
3. Arrange the necessary repairs. Work with an appropriately licensed contractor familiar with NYC sidewalk requirements.
4. Check the permit requirements. Sidewalk construction work requires the necessary authorization.
5. Request a dismissal inspection. Once repairs are completed, NYC DOT must verify satisfactory work before dismissing the violation.
