DOT & DOB Violation Correction in NYC
A violation can stop a sale, complicate refinancing, delay a project or leave an owner unsure about what needs to happen next. The practical starting point is to identify the exact agency record, read the cited condition carefully, inspect the property and separate the physical repair from the filing, hearing, permit or professional requirements that may also apply.
786 Construction Services can build the contractor scope around the condition that actually needs correction – sidewalk defects, masonry deterioration, unsafe exterior conditions, unpermitted construction, damaged stairs, curbs, cellar entrances, retaining walls and other repair items. Where a permit, architect, engineer, licensed trade, QEWI or agency filing is required, that part should be coordinated with the appropriate qualified party.
DOT Sidewalk Violation
DOT Sidewalk Violation DOT Sidewalk Violation Repair
NYC DOT sidewalk notices identify defective sidewalk conditions that must be corrected. The repair scope should follow the marked defects and the Preliminary Inspection Report rather than replacing random sections. After satisfactory work, the owner can request the required dismissal inspection.
·       Review marked sidewalk flags and cited defects
·       Remove and replace affected concrete where required
·       Address trip hazards, cracks and broken flags within scope
·       Coordinate sidewalk permit requirements
Â
·       Prepare the site for DOT dismissal inspection

- Cleanup and inspection readiness
