How To Get NYC Violations Removal Done

By Karina Frost


This is time that the winter is finally coming to an end and all the snow is now melting away. Many people might have gotten sidewalk violation tickets from the New York City transportation department and it is now time to deal with them. There are various steps that people handling NYC violations removal need to follow to make sure they are well represented in this process.

Before the whole procedure is started, the person bearing the violation must look for a licensed contractor who also has a lot of experience. The contractor should be able to examine the sidewalk and determine what exactly should be done to make the transport department agree to remove the violations. If a person was given PIR by this department, they should make sure they present it to the hired contractor.

If the sidewalk at hand has a tree present, the process will also need to include the forestry department. This department helps to determine the way forward with regard to the tree. This organization does not however have the power to authorize the cutting of roots thus if this is vital, a professional arborist can be contacted to help.

The contractor who has been hired to do this job should first make sure he finds all the permits which will make their works on the sidewalks legal. The owner of the land is also allowed to get the permits themselves. If there is a curb involved then this may be a different case therefore a different license will be required. Separate assessment is also required in this type of a situation.

If the sidewalk being worked on is on a designated landmark property a person also needs to get a landmark approval in addition to the permits from the transportation department before the work can be started. One first fills the landmark application and sends it to the landmark preservation commission for it to be approved. When sending this application, the map and a picture of sidewalk must be included.

After all the necessities have been gotten, the contractor can start the repair process. After all these have been carried out, the sidewalk is supposed to be free of any dangers of falling or tripping and it should also look more attractive than it was prior to the repairs. After everything is well done, there are certain documents that may be shown to the relevant powers to prove the repairs and have the defilement removed.

In the whole of this process, people are advised to only hire the professional sidewalk managers to review their situation and come up with the best course of action to be taken. If this is done then the costs of the repair will be reduced because the professionals know about the cheaper criteria that can be applied.

A sidewalk manager refers to a person who is trained to help in identifying and correcting any fall and trip dangers in a sidewalk. These people have a lot of skills on the proper measures to take when one is warned of having violations in their sidewalk.
