Malatesta Paladino has been a trusted sidewalk contractor in New York City since 1985. Commercial property owners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Nassau County rely on us for sidewalk repair, full replacement, curb installation, and roadway work — all completed in full compliance with NYC Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) requirements.
In New York City, property owners are legally responsible for the condition of the sidewalk directly in front of their building. As a result, a cracked, uneven, or damaged sidewalk is not just a safety hazard — it is also a liability risk and a potential source of DOT violations and fines.
At Malatesta Paladino, we handle everything from targeted sidewalk repairs to full slab replacement. Furthermore, our team manages all permits, coordinates inspections, and ensures every project meets NYCDOT specifications from start to finish — so building owners don’t have to deal with the paperwork or the process.
The NYC Department of Transportation regularly inspects sidewalks across the city and issues violations to property owners when defects are found. Common reasons for NYCDOT sidewalk violations include:
Sidewalk panels that are cracked through or broken into multiple pieces are among the most frequently cited defects.
Height differences between adjoining slabs, raised edges, and sunken panels create trip hazards that the DOT actively flags.
Damaged cellar doors, grates, and other hardware embedded in the sidewalk surface are also subject to violation.
Roots that have lifted or cracked sidewalk panels are the property owner's responsibility to repair, even though the trees are city-owned.
Sidewalks that direct water toward buildings rather than toward the curb can also result in a violation.
Malatesta Paladino helps commercial property owners across Manhattan resolve sidewalk violations quickly and correctly. Moreover, we handle all required permits and inspections so that violations are properly closed out with the DOT.
Not every contractor is equipped to handle sidewalk work in New York City. NYCDOT has specific material standards, construction specifications, and inspection requirements that must be followed on every project. Using an unqualified contractor can result in failed inspections, rejected work, and additional costs.
As experienced sidewalk contractors in Manhattan, our team knows these requirements inside and out. Additionally, because we handle permitting and inspection coordination directly, building owners can be confident that all work is properly authorized and accepted by the city before we consider a job complete.
In business since 1985, with a long track record of completed sidewalk, curb, and roadway projects across all five boroughs.
Every project meets NYC Department of Transportation specifications. Permits and inspections are managed on your behalf from start to finish.
Rather than leaving building owners to navigate the DOT process alone, our team handles everything needed to resolve violations quickly and correctly.
In addition to standard concrete work, our team offers decorative and custom sidewalk finishes for property owners looking to enhance the appearance of their building entrance.
A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau for quality and professionalism.
Completed sidewalk and curb projects at high-profile NYC locations
Look for contractors with extensive Manhattan experience, proper licensing and insurance, NYCDOT permit knowledge, and commercial project references. Malatesta Paladino has served NYC since 1985 with hundreds of completed commercial sidewalk projects.
If your sidewalk has cracks wider than half an inch, raised or sunken slabs, or has been flagged by the NYC Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), it likely needs attention. Our team at Malatesta Paladino will assess your sidewalk and recommend the most cost-effective solution — whether that’s targeted repair or a full replacement.
In NYC, property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks adjacent to their property. If a violation is issued by the NYCDOT and not addressed within the required timeframe, the city can make the repairs and bill the property owner — often at a much higher cost. We help you resolve violations quickly and affordably before it gets to that point.
