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.
A single flag usually costs $599 to $750. Larger areas run $12 to $28 per square foot, and tree-root damage costs a bit more. Curb work is $50 to $95 per linear foot. You get a fixed, written quote after a free site visit.
The repair takes 1 to 3 days on site. After that, you request a dismissal inspection through 311, and DOT sends an inspector. The violation is closed once the work passes inspection. We help you with the request and stay in touch until it’s done.
You have 75 days from when the notice is issued to make repairs. After that, DOT may repair the sidewalk and bill you. If you want to appeal instead, you must file within 75 days of receiving the notice.
Yes. The contractor must get a sidewalk construction permit from DOT before starting work. Repairs over $200 must also be done by a contractor with a DCWP Home Improvement Contractor licence. We pull the permit for you.
No. A dismissal inspection is always required to close a sidewalk violation. After the repair, the property owner requests the inspection through 311. We give you the permit details and help you file the request.
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.
Yes. You can file an appeal within 75 days of receiving the notice. DOT then schedules a reinspection within 180 days of your request. An appeal works best if the damage was already fixed or the sidewalk isn’t yours.
Speedway Concrete has years of experience providing high-quality concrete and sidewalk services for residential and commercial properties across New York City.
Not always. The City no longer issues violations or liens on 1 to 3 family properties when the damage is caused only by City trees. If other defects are cited too, you must still fix those. Buildings with 4 or more units remain responsible.
It can be harder. An open violation or lien may prevent the sale or refinancing of the property. It can also show up in the buyer’s title search. Tell us your closing date, and we’ll plan the repair around it.
Call 311 or use the NYC311 website with your 4 to 6 digit violation number. You can ask for the violation status, a copy of the notice or lien details. You can also send us a photo of any notice you received.
No. We only replace the flags DOT cited. If one flag is cracked, we replace that full flag, not the whole frontage. We may point out other weak spots, but you decide whether to fix them.
