Brooklyn sidewalks

What we see in Brooklyn.

Brownstones & historic districts

Large parts of brownstone Brooklyn are landmarked. Sidewalk work in a historic district can need Landmarks Preservation Commission sign-off and in-kind materials such as bluestone; we check before we price.

Street-tree damage

Mature street trees in Park Slope, Flatbush, Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights lift flags and curbs. Tree-only damage at one- to three-family homes is no longer cited; mixed defects still are.

Mixed-use avenues

Storefronts and apartment buildings on commercial avenues carry full owner liability under § 7-210 — see our commercial & condo page.

Process

Notice to dismissal.

  1. Free assessment. Send the violation or call (718) 849-2500; we measure the cited flags on site.
  2. Flat quote. Itemized, usually within 48 hours — permit, demolition, disposal, pour and dismissal.

  4. Dismissal. We file the dismissal request through 311; DOT inspects and the violation comes off the record.
FAQ

Brooklyn sidewalk violation questions

Do you repair sidewalks in every Brooklyn ZIP code?

Yes. JBS Concrete Pros clears DOT sidewalk violations and repairs sidewalks across Brooklyn, from Greenpoint and Williamsburg to Bay Ridge, Canarsie and Coney Island, in every ZIP code listed on this page.

My Brooklyn block is in a historic district. Does that change the repair?

It can. Sidewalk work in a New York City historic district may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval and in-kind materials, such as bluestone, rather than plain concrete. We check the landmark status at the assessment and include any extra steps in the quote.

Does a brownstone owner have to fix the sidewalk?

Yes. The adjacent property owner is responsible for repairing a cited sidewalk. An owner-occupied one- to three-family brownstone used only as a residence is exempt from sidewalk injury liability under § 7-210, but not from the duty to repair.

How long do I have to fix a sidewalk violation?

At least 75 days from the certified-mail receipt or posting date under NYC Administrative Code § 19-152, or 10 days where DOT declares an immediate danger. A permit does not extend the deadline. After it passes, the City can do the repair and bill the owner.

How much is the DOT sidewalk permit?

$70 for up to 300 linear feet at one property, covering the administrative cost and the dismissal inspection. Repairs over $200 need a DCWP-licensed contractor registered with DOT; JBS files the permit for you.

How much does sidewalk violation repair cost?

Cost depends on how many flags the DOT diagram marks, tree roots, curb work and access; a typical residential sidewalk repair runs roughly $1,000–$4,000, and larger or commercial jobs run higher. JBS gives a flat, itemized quote after a free assessment.

How is the violation dismissed?

After the repair, the dismissal request is filed through 311 and DOT inspects the work. When it passes, the violation is removed from the property record. JBS files the request for you.
