Repairing or Replacing Sidewalks

Many of the sidewalks in New York City's historic districts are paved with such historic materials as bluestone, granite flags and curbs, cast iron and glass vault light covers, cobblestone and other distinctive elements. It is important, therefore, to preserve them, and replace them in-kind only when necessary. Approval for repairing and replacing sidewalks is also required from the Department of Transportation.
