Sidewalk Repair in Brooklyn Heights

Sidewalk work in a historic neighborhood

Brooklyn Heights was designated New York City’s first historic district, and its brownstone and rowhouse blocks are a big part of what makes the neighborhood special. Many of those sidewalks are decades old, and time, weather and tree roots leave them cracked, uneven and prone to trip hazards.

Because the neighborhood is a historic district, some sidewalk projects, especially those involving traditional materials, may require review by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission in addition to standard permits. We will tell you up front what your project needs before any work begins.
