Who is responsible for a Bronx sidewalk?
In New York City, property owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing the sidewalk next to their property. If DOT inspects and finds defects, such as cracked or loose flags, trip hazards or bad drainage slopes, it issues a Notice of Violation. Sidewalk work over $200 must be done by a DCWP-licensed contractor, and the contractor needs a DOT sidewalk construction permit.
Many Bronx properties are apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings with long sidewalk frontages, where one violation can cover many flags and the curb. The City no longer issues violations for damage caused only by City street trees on 1-, 2- and 3-family homes, but on larger buildings, commercial properties and vacant lots that damage is still the owner's job.
What's included
If the defects aren't fixed within 75 days of the notice, NYC DOT may do the repair itself and bill the property owner. The same 75 days is your window to appeal if you think the violation is wrong.

Sidewalk repair FAQ
Who pays for sidewalk repair in the Bronx?
In NYC the owner of the adjacent property is responsible for maintaining and repairing the sidewalk. We give you a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to fix my sidewalk?
Yes. The contractor needs a DOT sidewalk construction permit, and sidewalk work over $200 must be done by a DCWP-licensed contractor. We handle the permit as part of the job.
Do you work on apartment and commercial buildings?
Yes. Much of our Bronx sidewalk work is along apartment and mixed-use buildings, including the curb. We plan the work so entrances stay usable.
Is tree-root damage my responsibility?
On 1-, 2- and 3-family homes, the City no longer issues violations for damage caused only by City street trees. On larger residential, commercial or vacant properties it is still the owner’s responsibility. We tell you which applies at the inspection.
Will you get my violation dismissed?
Yes. Once the repair is done, a DOT dismissal inspection is booked with the permit and violation numbers. When the inspector confirms the work, the violation is removed.
