Brooklyn is one of New York City's most densely populated boroughs — and the NYC Department of Transportation actively enforces sidewalk compliance across every neighborhood, from Williamsburg and Park Slope to East New York and Canarsie. Under NYC law, property owners are legally responsible for maintaining the sidewalk directly in front of their building. When damage is identified, the DOT issues a violation notice giving property owners approximately 45–75 days to make compliant repairs or face escalating penalties.
ECO World Construction Corp has been clearing DOT sidewalk violations for Brooklyn property owners since 2009. We are fully licensed and insured, and our crews operate across every Brooklyn neighborhood — from Greenpoint and DUMBO in the north to Bay Ridge and Coney Island in the south.
