Sidewalk violation removal for NYC property owners, from the day the DOT notice arrives to the day it’s dismissed. We have fixed New York sidewalks for over 10 years. Free on-site estimate.








If an inspector from the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) found a defect in the sidewalk in front of your property, you got a Notice of Sidewalk Violation. With it came a Preliminary Inspection Report: a sketch of your sidewalk with the bad flags marked.
From the day you receive it, you have 75 days to make the repair. We read that report with you, fix every flag it marks and help you close the violation the right way.
Speedway Concrete Corp works out of Brooklyn and offers sidewalk violation removal across the city. We serve property owners in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island.
A DOT sidewalk violation is a notice that the sidewalk next to your property has defects you must repair. In NYC, property owners are responsible for repairing the sidewalk in front of their building under NYC Admin Code 19-152.
DOT inspectors look for trip hazards, broken flags and other defects. When they find them, they send a Notice of Violation with a diagram of each problem area. An open violation or lien can hold up a sale or refinance of your property.
You have 75 days from when the notice is issued to make repairs. If you want to appeal instead, you must file within 75 days of receiving it. You can read the official rules on the NYC311 sidewalk violation page.

Sidewalk violation removal starts with the paperwork. Send a photo of your Preliminary Inspection Report, and we check the defect codes, the flags marked and the square feet the inspector estimated.
We manage permits, repairs, and DOT requirements from start to finish.
Our goal is to help get your sidewalk violation properly dismissed.
We remove the damaged concrete, prepare the base and pour new concrete to DOT standards. Most jobs take 1 to 3 days on site, plus curing time.
A dismissal inspection is requested through 311 with your violation and permit numbers. When the inspector approves the work, DOT dismisses the violation.
We have spent more than a decade on sidewalk repair and sidewalk violation removal, plus curbs and concrete steps, across the five boroughs.
Your job is done by a licensed, insured company.
New concrete alone doesn't clear a violation, so we also handle the permit and dismissal request.

At SpeedWay Concrete, we handle both DOT sidewalk violations and DOB-related property compliance issues across Brooklyn and all NYC boroughs. These violations are usually issued when sidewalks or surrounding structures become unsafe, non-compliant, or damaged. Our team repairs these issues quickly and ensures your property meets all NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) and Department of Buildings (DOB) standards.
We provide complete repair solutions that not only fix the physical damage but also help remove DOT/DOB violations and restore full legal compliance for your property.
The price depends on how much of your sidewalk needs repair, the type of damage, and any required permits. Speedway Concrete Corp can review the repair work needed and provide an estimate for your property.
The repair itself may take a day or several days, depending on the size of the job. Getting the violation cleared takes additional time because the completed work may need to be inspected by NYC DOT.
Your notice explains the deadline for addressing the violation. NYC generally gives property owners 75 days to begin the required repairs. Check your notice carefully and arrange the work before the deadline.
In most cases, yes. A sidewalk construction permit from NYC DOT is generally required before repair work begins. The exact requirements depend on the work being done, so confirm the necessary permits before scheduling your project.
Not automatically. Completing the concrete work is only part of the process. You must follow the dismissal procedure, and the violation must be cleared through the applicable NYC DOT process.
DOT may repair the sidewalk and bill you once the 75 days pass. You won’t choose the contractor, the timing or the price. The violation also stays open, which can hold up a sale or refinance.
Ignoring the notice can lead to further action by the city, including having the work completed and charging the property owner. An unresolved violation may also create complications when selling or refinancing your property.
Responsibility depends on the property and the circumstances. Some eligible homeowners may qualify for city assistance when a city-owned tree damages the sidewalk. Check the applicable NYC Parks and DOT rules to find out what applies to your property.
A property sale may still be possible, but an open violation or related lien can complicate the closing. Check the property’s records and speak with your real estate attorney about resolving any outstanding issues before the sale.
Start by checking NYC’s official property and sidewalk violation records. You can also contact 311 for guidance. If you have received a notice, keep a copy handy so you can check the violation details and required next steps.
