pavement removal along sidewalk


We’re looking into removing the pavement in front of our bldg so that we can plant a garden. Anyone ever done this? Did you get a permit? It’s our own property, but it runs adjacent to the sidewalk. Who do I speak to? The DOB? The DOT? I can’t find any specific language in the building code for this particular situation. Thanks for any leads!

fence contractor recommedations?


We are looking for someone to install a wrought-iron fence along the side yard of our building in P.H. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Also, just wondering if anyone who’s had a similar job could give a ballpark figure on how much to expect it to cost. We need about 50 linear feet of 5 or 6 foot tall fence installed into what is now concrete (though we may bust up the concrete to plant bushes first).

Thanks for any info or leads!
