Sidewalks, steps & concrete in the Bronx
From long apartment-building frontages to hilly side streets in Riverdale and Highbridge, Bronx concrete work is about sidewalks, steps and walls that hold the ground in place.
Apartment buildings along the Concourse, Fordham and Kingsbridge have long sidewalk frontages, and owners of corner buildings can be responsible for flags on two streets. We replace defective flags and curbs listed on DOT notices and coordinate with supers and tenants to keep entrances open.
The Bronx is hilly. Concrete steps, stairs between lots and retaining walls are common in Riverdale, Highbridge and University Heights, while Throgs Neck, Pelham Bay and Country Club have driveways, patios and waterfront yards.

What Bronx owners should know
General information only, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with the issuing NYC agency.
DOT sidewalk violations
Owners are generally responsible for adjacent sidewalks; DOT notices list the defective flags; repairs generally need a DOT permit.
Retaining walls
Larger retaining walls can carry DOB inspection and maintenance requirements; failing walls usually need an engineer first.
Street trees
NYC Parks’ Trees & Sidewalks Program may cover tree-root damage at eligible 1–3 family homes.
HPD
Broken entrance steps in rental buildings can also become an HPD issue.

Concrete questions in Bronx
Our building has a DOT sidewalk notice on two streets. Can you do both?
Yes. We price the flags listed on each frontage and schedule the work to keep the entrance usable.
Can you rebuild crumbling concrete steps?
Yes: demolition and new forming and pouring, or resurfacing when the base is sound.
Do you build retaining walls?
We repair and rebuild smaller retaining walls. Taller walls usually need an engineer’s design, which we can work from.
