Local Conditions
Where Are the Steps That Need Repair?
Claremont Village is mainly public housing, newer affordable buildings and older walk ups. Stoops are less common than at attached houses, but entrance steps, short stair runs and ramps are everywhere. They serve many residents every day, so they wear out quickly.
Some blocks slope toward Claremont Park. A building on a slope often has an entrance set a few steps above or below the sidewalk, and water runs across those steps in every rain.
Winter makes it worse. Water enters hairline cracks, freezes and widens them. Salt then roughens the surface and shortens its life.
We repair concrete steps and brick steps, and we reset or replace railings that have worked loose.
How Do We Fix Worn Entrance Steps?
We patch small chips, rebuild crumbling nosings and replace treads that have split. If a flight has pulled from the wall or sunk, the crew removes it and builds new steps on a solid base. Posts are reset into sound material.
Brick steps get their joints cut out and repointed, and loose bricks are reset. Where mortar has failed throughout, we may rebuild the flight.
Finished steps shed water. Treads slope slightly forward, landings pitch away from the door and edges are rounded so they resist chipping.
Work at occupied buildings
Residents use the entrance every day, so we plan the work with the manager. Where the site allows, one entrance stays open, and we post notice of any closure.
Do Steps Repairs Need Permits in Claremont Village?
Steps repair entirely on your lot does not need the DOT sidewalk permit, but structural stair work can involve the Department of Buildings. Steps reaching onto the public sidewalk raise further questions. We know of no historic district here. Confirm current rules with the city.
The flags at the base of a stair belong to the sidewalk. If they are cracked, owners are generally responsible for them, and we can handle both in one visit.
Taller buildings, those above six stories, come under Local Law 11. Ask the city or your engineer how that touches entrance stairs and walls at your property.
What Makes Steps Unsafe Before They Fail?
Steps become unsafe long before they collapse. Slick, worn treads, chipped nosings, uneven risers and wobbling rails cause most falls. Fixing them early costs less and protects residents, visitors and delivery workers who use the entrance every day.
Uneven risers are especially risky. A step that is taller or shorter than the others breaks a walker's rhythm. We check each riser and tread against its neighbors.
Managers of larger properties can ask for a survey of every entrance. We list each defect in order of urgency, so you can plan repairs and spread the cost across seasons.
