DOT Sidewalk Violation Removal Service
Our sidewalk violation removal service in Staten Island was created specifically to help property owners and managers resolve these issues smoothly. Leveraging decades of experience with Staten Island regulations, we simplify the complicated violation and removal process to restore compliance quickly and cost-effectively.
The Importance of Proper Sidewalk Maintenance
With approximately 10,000 miles of sidewalks in Staten Island, these pathways are vital infrastructure enabling residents and visitors to navigate safely on foot. We also provide critical accessibility for those with disabilities. Staten Island mandates that property owners maintain the sidewalks adjoining their land to keep these essential networks in good repair.
When issues emerge, the Department of Transportation and Department of Sanitation inspectors document the problems and issue violations to the responsible landowners. Sidewalk violations can result from simple wear-and-tear like cracked or uneven pavement, or more substantial hazards like illegible, obstructing greenery and unauthorized constructions. If unaddressed, these issues can pose dangers for pedestrians and create accessibility barriers in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
By law, Staten Island property owners must rectify any sidewalk violations on their land quickly to keep sidewalks safe and accessible. Our violation removal service was founded to help owners do this correctly and efficiently.

The Sidewalk Violation Process
Receiving a sidewalk violation notice can be an intimidating and confusing experience for property owners unfamiliar with Staten Island regulations. Our team of Keystone Sidewalk Contractors works to simplify each step:
Violation Issuance:
DOT and DSNY inspectors continually monitor city sidewalks for issues. Upon discovering a problem on an adjoining property, they document the violation and issue a formal notice by mail specifying the infraction and required remedies.
Violation Types:
Sidewalk violations range from minor wear to major hazards:
- Cracks, broken/uneven pavement, crumbling curbs
- Obstructing greenery, branches, weeds
- Unauthorized additions like planter boxes
- Accessibility issues like blocked ramps
Notice Timelines:
The mailed violation notice provides a compliance deadline typically 45-60 days out. Failure to properly resolve the issue by this date triggers rapidly escalating fines until addressed.
