Licensed & Insured
On tree-lined Brooklyn blocks, roots are a common reason slabs lift and crack. Where a City tree is involved, the work can need a Tree Work Permit from NYC Parks as well as a Sidewalk Construction Permit from NYC DOT, and a licensed contractor should know which applies.
At 375 6th Ave, we replaced eight damaged slabs beside a mature street tree in a historic district near Park Slope, including the extra review that location required.

How It Works
You get a free, written estimate before any work is scheduled.
Send the address, a few photos and your DOT violation number if the sidewalk has been cited.
If a street tree is involved, we check whether a Parks permit is needed in addition to the DOT permit.
Our crew completes the permitted repair, then the DOT dismissal inspection is requested.
Pricing
Brooklyn jobs vary with the area being replaced and conditions such as tree roots near the slabs. Use these typical ranges as a guide before your free on-site estimate.
Repairs start at 25 sq. ft. (5×5), depending on location.
Standard sidewalk repairs, based on borough and site conditions.
Typical 100–200 sq. ft. jobs including labor and materials.
Priced at a per sq. ft. rate, offering better value on bigger areas.
What you pay depends on the size of the job, site conditions, materials, permits, location and scope. The figures above are typical ranges, not a quote. Your written estimate is free.
DOT Violations
A Notice of Sidewalk Violation from NYC DOT means an inspector has found a defect in front of your Brooklyn property, such as lifted, broken or missing flags.
From the date on the certified mail receipt, or the day the notice is posted, owners have 75 days to make the repair before DOT can step in and bill them for it.
Root damage needs extra care. Owners of one- to three-family homes are not charged for damage caused solely by a City tree, and can ask NYC Parks to inspect through the Trees and Sidewalks program. Owners who do not qualify, or cannot wait, can hire a licensed contractor to repair it with a Parks Tree Work Permit and a DOT permit.
Every permitted repair ends with a DOT dismissal inspection. See how that worked in our 318 Clifton Pl case study, or read the City’s sidewalk requirements.

FAQ
What Brooklyn owners usually want to know before booking a sidewalk repair, including tree-root and permit questions.
Brooklyn sidewalk repairs usually cost $12–$18 per sq. ft. Small jobs start at $1,700 (about 25 sq. ft.), while a 100–200 sq. ft. replacement typically totals $3,000–$5,000 including labor and permits. Tree roots or extra excavation can affect the price, which is why we inspect before quoting.
Yes, a NYC DOT Sidewalk Construction Permit. If a City street tree is part of the job, a Tree Work Permit from NYC Parks may also be needed. We handle the applications for you as part of the job.
After permits are approved, violation repairs generally start within 3–5 business days and routine repairs within 1–2 weeks. We can usually come out for a free estimate the same day.
In NYC, the owner of the property next to the sidewalk is responsible for keeping it repaired. One exception applies to one- to three-family homes where a City tree alone caused the damage: the City does not charge those owners for that repair.
Yes. Our crew repairs the cited defects under permit and we see the violation through to dismissal. Most Brooklyn violations are cleared within 2–4 weeks of the work beginning.
Once a licensed contractor finishes the repair under a DOT Sidewalk Construction Permit, a dismissal inspection is requested using the violation number and the construction permit number. The violation is removed after a DOT inspector confirms the work was done correctly, and the permit fee covers the cost of that inspection.
