New York City's energetic pace extends to its sidewalks. Millions of feet traverse these concrete paths daily, and with constant use, wear and tear are inevitable. As a property owner, you're responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in front of your building. While fixing a sidewalk might seem straightforward, there are hidden pitfalls that can lead to headaches and wasted money. Here are 10 mistakes to avoid when tackling your NYC sidewalk repair project:
Skipping the Permits: Don't break ground without the proper permits from the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). The permit process ensures your repairs meet safety and accessibility standards.
DIY Disaster: Sidewalk repair requires expertise. Uneven surfaces or improper materials can worsen the problem and create safety hazards. Consider hiring a licensed and insured contractor with experience in NYC sidewalk repairs.
Material Mishap: Not all concrete is created equal. Substandard materials won't withstand NYC's harsh winters and constant foot traffic. Consult your contractor to ensure they use high-quality, DOT-approved concrete for a long-lasting fix.
Drainage Deluge: Poor drainage leads to pooling water and further sidewalk damage during winter freezes and thaws. Ensure proper drainage is incorporated into your repair plan to prevent future problems.
Accessibility Oversights: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has specific guidelines for sidewalk accessibility. Ramps, handrails, and proper clearances are crucial for creating a safe path for everyone.
