Emergency Repairs in NYC

An emergency is a sidewalk that is dangerous right now: a collapse, a void opening up, or a hazard you have already been put on notice about. The first job is making it safe, the second is fixing it properly.

When the sidewalk cannot wait until Monday

• Same-day site visit to see what we are dealing with
• Hazard barricaded and made safe before anything else
• Scope and written price once the site is stable
• Permit filed and permanent repair scheduled
• Documentation kept in case liability is ever questioned

Making it safe costs little, and it happens first

Making a hazard safe is a small cost and it happens first. The permanent repair prices like any other sidewalk job. What an emergency changes is the order of events, not the rate.

Barricade today, permit tomorrow, pour after that

1. Same-day look. We come out and see it. Photographs on a phone do not tell you whether there is a void underneath.
2. Made safe immediately. Barricaded and signed. Making a hazard safe does not need a permit and does not wait for one.
3. Cause established. A slab that collapsed had a reason. Fixing the surface without finding it buys you a few months.
4. Permit filed, permanent repair scheduled. Once the site is safe, the job runs like any other permitted repair.
