What Damages Entrance Steps in Fordham?

Heavy use and water. Fordham apartment buildings and walk ups have entrances that dozens of residents and visitors use daily, and the steps often face busy streets. Salt, splash and thousands of footfalls wear treads and open joints faster than they would at a quiet house.

The pre war buildings along the Grand Concourse, Valentine Avenue and nearby streets frequently have a short flight up to the lobby door, sometimes with side walls and a railing. Many were built with masonry or concrete that is now a century old.

Streets between Jerome Avenue and Webster Avenue slope, and runoff pours past entrance steps during rain. A step that drains poorly holds water and ice, and the same spot freezes and thaws all winter.

How Are Worn or Broken Steps Fixed in Fordham?

Chips and shallow cracks are patched and resurfaced. Steps that have sunk, split or pulled from the wall are broken out and rebuilt in concrete or masonry. Railings are reset into sound material. The new surface is shaped to shed water and resist slipping.

At an apartment entrance, access is the main planning issue. We stage the work so tenants can still enter, using a temporary route or a phased rebuild. The manager and our crew agree on the plan beforehand.

Masonry steps with open joints may need repointing before anything else. Water that gets inside a masonry stoop pushes bricks loose, so closing the joints stops the damage from spreading.

Where the steps meet the sidewalk, the owner must keep the flags in repair under Admin Code 19-152, and we can include them in the same visit. Our guide to sidewalk violations has details.

Pricing

What Affects the Cost of Steps Repair in Fordham?

Number and size of steps

A short flight costs less than a long one. Wide entrances need more material.

Material

Poured concrete, brick and stone steps have different repair methods and costs.

Railing work

Resetting posts or replacing a rail section adds time and material.

Access and staging

Keeping a busy entrance open means phasing the work, and that adds planning.

Prices depend on the entrance, so we quote after seeing it. The price arrives in writing.

Do Fordham Steps Need a Permit or Special Approval?

A repair on steps inside your lot does not call for the DOT sidewalk permit. Structural work can involve the Department of Buildings, and steps that project onto the sidewalk bring other rules. No historic district is confirmed here. Confirm current rules with the city.

Buildings above six stories are covered by Local Law 11, the facade inspection program, and entrance steps can come up in those inspections. We can work from an inspector report.

If an entrance carries a long flight to a raised floor, the structure matters more than the surface. We look for cracks through the stoop and gaps at the wall, and an engineer may be needed if they point to movement.
