Does Anyone in the West Village Have a Driveway?
Hardly anyone. Narrow, irregular streets, row houses built flush to the sidewalk and tenements with no front yard leave no room. A true private driveway is a rare find. Vehicle concrete exists in a few other forms: garage doors on converted buildings, curb cuts to service entrances and parking or loading slabs.
Larger buildings, such as converted industrial ones like Westbeth and the newer towers along West Street, may have service entrances or garage ramps. Smaller buildings may have a single garage door cut into a ground floor, with an apron across the sidewalk.
- Cracked aprons across the sidewalk
- Garage ramps with worn or chipped edges
- Loading bays with spalled surfaces
- Courtyard parking slabs with heaved joints
- Gaps between the apron and the roadway
- Pooling at the base of a ramp
If your property has none of these, the concrete you need is probably a walkway or a rear yard, and we point you to the right service. We would rather say so than sell you a job you do not need.

How We Fix It
How Do You Repair an Apron on a Narrow Street?
We start by marking where your lot ends and the public sidewalk begins. Broken concrete is cut out, the base is rebuilt, and new concrete is poured to the grade the vehicle needs. Because the street is narrow, traffic control and timing are planned in advance.
An apron is a sloped wedge of concrete that lets a car cross the sidewalk. If the slope is wrong, cars scrape and water runs toward the building. Our pour matches the curb height and the garage floor so both ends meet cleanly.
Many West Village garage doors sit in historic buildings. If the work touches visible paving or the entrance, we raise Landmarks questions early, so the result suits the building.
Inside courtyards, parking slabs get a slight pitch toward a drain or the exit. Joints are sealed so water does not wash out the base.
What Permits and Landmarks Rules Touch Garage Concrete Here?
An apron that crosses the public sidewalk usually needs DOT approval first. Curb cuts, retaining walls and structural work may involve DOB. A repair entirely on your own lot skips the DOT sidewalk permit. The Greenwich Village Historic District and its extensions may bring Landmarks review. Confirm current rules with the city.
Gansevoort Market Historic District at the northern edge and Weehawken Street Historic District are also nearby. If your garage entrance lies inside one, we tell you what the city may want to review.
Because the apron lies over the public sidewalk, the owner answers for it if it breaks. Our sidewalk violations page shows what a violation means in practice.
What about buildings over six stories?
Local Law 11 puts buildings above six stories on a facade inspection cycle. If a garage entrance falls within a facade repair, we can coordinate with the masonry crew.
