Local Conditions
What Is Wrong With Sidewalks Along Pelham Parkway?
Trees and traffic. The Pelham Parkway has heavy tree cover, so roots lift flags in front of many buildings, and thousands of people walk to the 2 and 5 trains, the Bx12 buses and the shops each day. Both forces break concrete that was poured decades ago.
Roots grow outward under the sidewalk, and one flag after another tilts up. A raised edge catches a toe, a cane or a stroller wheel. It is the defect inspectors look for.
Lydig Avenue and White Plains Road carry the most foot traffic. Shop deliveries add loads the old slabs were never meant to take. Corner flags near the train stairs wear fastest.
The pre war and postwar buildings along the parkway are five and six stories, and each owner faces a long frontage. A single building can have a dozen flags in poor shape.
Who Must Fix the Sidewalk in Front of a Parkway Building?
The property owner. City code requires the owner of the lot next to a sidewalk to keep it in safe repair. For an apartment building, that means the building owner or the co-op or condo board. Details change, so check current rules with the city.
Owners of most buildings can be held liable if someone is hurt. The exception covers owner occupied one, two and three family homes, and it applies to injury liability only. It does not end the duty to maintain the walk.
If DOT issues a violation, the city may repair the walk and bill the owner. You can repair it yourself and then request dismissal. We cover the steps on our sidewalk violations page.
Roots of city street trees stay uncut unless NYC Parks approves it. We work around that rule and file the DOT permit that most sidewalk work generally needs. Our firm is a private contractor and does not work for NYC DOT.

What Affects the Cost of Sidewalk Repair on Pelham Parkway?
Number of flags
A building with a long frontage needs more concrete and more crew time. We count the flags and list each one.
Tree and root conditions
A flag beside a large street tree takes extra care. Root work needs city approval and can change the plan.
Access and pedestrian traffic
Busy corners near the 2 and 5 trains need safe walkways around the work area.
Base condition
If the soil under a flag has washed out, we rebuild the base before pouring. That adds work but makes the walk last.
You get an on site visit and a written price with every flag listed, at no charge.
