We received a sidewalk violation. We live in a landmark house and our sidewalk does need improvement. It is my understanding that Landmarks says we must keep the bluestone. Is this true? Some previous owners have made put in cement patches in some parts of the sidewalk. I am sorely tempted just to replace the bluestone with cement entirely, as I have heard that repairing bluestone sidewalks costs a fortune and, frankly, it would be beyond our means at the present time. I would need to get a grant. Does anyone here have experience, or know of anyone with experience in dealing with Landmarks regarding sidewalks, or with just ignoring Landmarks and putting in cement?

Thank you,
