Your Sidewalk Repair Questions Answered - FAQs

Q: Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of my Queens property?

A: According to New York's administrative code, property owners are responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining sidewalks that are adjoining to their properties. Staff from the Department of Transportation (DOT) will inspect the sidewalks on a regular basis and notify the property owner of needed repairs.

Q: What should I do if I receive a DOT violation?

A: A licensed sidewalk repair contractor can take the reins when it comes to your DOT violation. They should facilitate permitting, perform the repairs to specifications, and request the inspection by the DOT. Once that is complete, they can request to have the violation dismissed on your behalf.

Q: What happens if I don't make repairs?

A: In the event that timely repairs are not made by the property owner, the City may hire private construction firms to make the repairs. When this happens, the City bills the property owner for the costs of the repairs. In many cases, those bills can run much higher than the cost of private repairs.
