What Sidewalk Problems Show Up Around Crotona Park?
The park edge has heavy tree cover, so root lifted flags are the leading problem on the perimeter streets. Elsewhere, apartment building frontages carry constant foot traffic that cracks old slabs, and sloped blocks on the west side let water undercut the concrete.
Crotona Park North, Crotona Park East, Crotona Park South, Crotona Avenue, Fulton Avenue and Claremont Parkway all see their share of walkers, strollers and delivery carts. A raised flag is more than an eyesore on those blocks.
- Flags tilted by roots from park edge trees
- Cracked slabs in front of apartment buildings
- Open joints where water collects on sloped blocks
- Trip edges at tree pits
- Sunken flags near curbs
- Patches that no longer match the surrounding walk
The same block can have several of these at once. An older apartment building may have a patched frontage, and a newer building next door may have clean concrete that still lifts at the tree pit.

How We Fix It
How Do You Repair a Root Lifted Sidewalk?
We mark the damaged flags, saw cut clean lines and break out the old concrete. The base is checked and leveled, then new flags are formed and poured to match the slope of the block. Where a root is the cause, we shape the pour to ease over it.
NYC Parks owns the street trees, and roots stay in place unless the city approves cutting. That rule shapes the repair. We do not simply cut and pour. We look at how the root runs and design the flag around it.
On the sloped west side of the park, grade matters as much as roots. New flags are set so that water leaves the walk and does not pool at the edge.
Large frontages are done in sections, so tenants can still reach the door while the work proceeds.
What Are the Sidewalk Rules for Property Owners Near Crotona Park?
Owners must maintain the sidewalk next to their property under Admin Code 19-152, and sidewalk work generally needs a DOT permit. Most owners are liable for injuries on the walk. Owner occupied one to three family homes are the exception, under 7-210. Confirm current rules with the city.
Many buildings around the park are apartment buildings, so the owner is usually responsible for the walk and any violation. We prepare and file the DOT permit as part of the job. The Trees and Sidewalks program may help eligible one to three family homes with trees.
Have a DOT sidewalk violation?
The city can repair the walk and bill the owner, and owners can request dismissal once repairs are done. Learn the steps in our guide. Read our guide on Fix My Sidewalk Violation.
