At Stonecore Inc, we understand the stress and inconvenience that comes with receiving a sidewalk violation notice from the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT). Whether you’ve received a Preliminary Inspection Report or a formal Notice of Violation, one thing is certain — quick and proper action is essential to avoid serious penalties and delays.

The NYC DOT regularly inspects sidewalks throughout the five boroughs. If your sidewalk has any defects — such as cracks, holes, uneven pavement, lifted slabs from tree roots, or trip hazards — they will mark the problem areas on a diagram of your property and send a violation report by mail. Once issued, the violation is also filed with the County Clerk’s Office, legally restricting your ability to sell or refinance your property until the issue is resolved.

What makes it more urgent is that you are given only 75 days to correct the violation. If you fail to act within this time, the DOT can legally hire their own contractor to perform the repairs and place a lien against your property to cover the cost — often far more expensive than hiring your own licensed professional.

That’s where Stonecore Inc steps in.
