I see something similar was just posted but I have some additional questions…our 3-unit historic district co-op received a letter from our insurance carrier that we need to make some repairs to the sidewalk: first, the bluestone around the tree pit, which is buckling from tree roots (surprisingly, we have never received a violation from the city on this) and second, a small area of the non-historic concrete in our front trash area is cracked (but not loose, which doesn’t seem like much of a danger to anyone but whatever). My internet research thus far has confused me in terms of how we go about this in terms of Landmarks, Parks, DOT and a contractor. Do we need a Landmarks permit for all of this? A sidewalk design consultation with Parks for the enlargement of the tree pit (unfortunately, we are not eligible for the Trees and Sidewalks pilot program)? If so, do we coordinate these items or would the contractor? And finally, does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable contractor who can perform both the tree pit enlargement as well as replacing some concrete in the front yard in a historic district? Many thanks for any advice…
