DOT Sidewalk Violation
When the NYC Department of Transportation receives a number of complaints about the condition of sidewalks in any particular neighborhood, they will often send a representative to inspect that area for safety concerns. This will also happen when an unusual number of injuries are reported about any specific area in the city, where sidewalks might have missing sections, or where there is misalignment due to upheavals or to sunken sections of the sidewalk. In an effort to make those sidewalks safe for pedestrian use again, the DOT will issue notifications of a violation of the city ordinance, which requires property owners to keep their sidewalks in a good state of repair.

Efficient & Fast DOT Violation Removal
If you have been issued one of these citations, you’ll have a reasonable amount of time to have repairs carried out so you can once again be in compliance. However, if you choose to ignore the citation, the DOT will sometimes act on its own to have the sidewalk repairs done, and then they will send you the contractor’s bill so you can pay for the repairs. Legally, you will be required to pay for those repairs, since it is a requirement of the 2003 city ordinance governing sidewalk maintenance.
The first thing you should do when you receive a citation like this is to contact a sidewalk repair contractor NYC, for instance our company, City Sidewalk Repair NYC.
