What is a DOT Sidewalk Violation in NYC?

A NYC DOT Sidewalk Violation is an official notice from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to a property owner that the sidewalk adjacent to their property is defective or hazardous, such as being cracked, uneven, or improperly sloped. Property owners are responsible for these repairs and are given a timeframe, typically 75 days, to fix the issue before the city may complete the work itself and charge the owner for the cost.

What to do when you get a violation

  1. Review the notice: 
    A “Preliminary Inspection Report” or “Notice of Violation” will be mailed to you, outlining the specific defects that need to be fixed. 
     
  2. Schedule repairs: 
    Hire a contractor to make the necessary repairs within the specified timeframe. The contractor must be registered with the NYC DOT. 
     
  3. Get the necessary permits: 
    Your contractor will need to obtain the proper sidewalk repair permits. 
     
  4. Schedule a dismissal inspection: 
    After the work is completed, contact 311 to schedule a dismissal inspection. This is required to close the violation. 
     
  5. Emergency conditions: 
    If the violation involves an emergency condition, such as a collapsed sidewalk, the repair period is shorter, typically 10 days.
