Received a DOT letter, DOB violation notice, or insurance compliance warning? We repair the defect, pull every required permit, and file for dismissal — all in-house. Call the same day you receive the notice.
Each situation has a specific resolution path. We handle all of them — start to finish.
Situation: You received a letter from NYC DOT or DOB citing a masonry defect — cracked sidewalk, defective facade, hazardous parapet, or unsafe chimney.
What we do:
Call the same day you receive the notice. Delays increase fines.
Situation: An old unresolved masonry violation converted to a property lien — now blocking your sale, refinance, or mortgage renewal.
What we do:
Note: Lien removal itself is handled by your attorney or at the County Clerk. We handle the masonry repair and violation dismissal that enables it.
Situation: Your insurer or mortgage lender identified masonry code violations as a coverage or loan risk and requires correction before renewal or closing.
What we do:
We can provide a formal scheduling letter confirming your project is booked — accepted by most insurers and lenders when timing is tight.
Situation: You can see visible masonry deterioration and want to fix it before an inspector issues a violation or before a small problem becomes an expensive one.
What we do:
The most cost-effective approach — small masonry repairs cost a fraction of what violation-driven emergency repairs cost.
All parapet walls facing public sidewalks must be visually inspected every calendar year. Hazardous conditions must be corrected within 90 days. Annual compliance deadline: December 31st. Failure results in Class 1 violation and emergency repair orders.
Facade Inspection Safety Program requires professional engineer inspection every 5 years. Unsafe or hazardous conditions flagged in FISP reports must be corrected before the engineer can file a Subsequent Inspection Report. We complete FISP-required repairs with full documentation.
Any exterior masonry work on individually landmarked buildings or properties in designated historic districts requires LPC pre-approval. Work without approval constitutes a violation. We check every property address and handle all LPC applications in-house.
NYC property owners have 75 days to correct a DOT sidewalk defect violation before the city performs the repair and bills you — at 2–3x market rate plus administrative costs. Call us the day you receive the letter. We can typically schedule and complete repair within the timeframe.
Have your violation letter ready when you call — the violation number and agency (DOT, DOB, or other) helps us give you an accurate timeline immediately.
We Handle All Permits:
Call us the day you receive the notice. Simple violations get an immediate phone consultation. We assess, estimate, permit, repair, and file for dismissal — everything in-house. Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan.
