What Is a Sidewalk Violation in NYC?
If you received a NYC DOT sidewalk violation, it means your sidewalk is broken, uneven, or unsafe. The city issues these violations to property owners, requiring them to repair the sidewalk quickly. Our video explains the full process and how Repair Sidewalk Inc. can help you resolve your sidewalk violation legally and affordably.
Understand your sidewalk violation and how to fix it.
NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) will mail the homeowner a violation for the sidewalk called Preliminary Inspection Report. This report will show a diagram of your property with the sidewalk flags marked which are defects and need to be repaired.
DOT will also file a notice with the county clerk office regarding the violation on your property. This will stop the homeowner from selling the home until the violation is repaired and removed. The homeowner has 75 days to hire a contractor and make the repairs.
If repairs are not made in 75 days, DOT has the right to place a lien on the house and also hire a contractor to make the repairs. The homeowner will be charged with cost of the repairs the contractor does on behave of DOT.
