Trees & Sidewalks
I am considering whether to replace the cement in the (uneven) sidewalk in front of my house. It seems to me that the problem is being caused by the roots of the tree and I wondered if the mason would be able to ameliorate this without damaging the tree. Doing some research, I came across a city program called Trees & Sidewalks, where they say they will fix your sidewalk themselves and do everything to preserve the tree.
Has anyone had any experience with the program? Do they actually follow through? If I sign up for the program, could that possibly lead to my getting a violation from the city?
And if I do it through the city, would I still have to get landmarks permission on my own?

Bluestone Sidewalk
I have some large (6'x5') flagstones that have shifted. I want to restore the sidewalk and keep the original flagstones. Does anyone know someone who does this restoration work?

Thanks!

Sidewalk holes
We had a brand new sidewalk cast. A big dog evidently walked on one patch before it had set & there are nearly half-inch-deep pawprints in one area. Is there a good patching material I can use to fill them in?

How to Clear a Sidewalk Lien?
Hi, our coop is refinancing and the title search discovered a sidewalk lien from 8/05. I never received the original notice, and can't get much clarification from the nyc.gov DOT site, except that if you don't fix the defect within 45 days of notice then DOT can send their own folks out and bill you. that apparently didn't happen, as the lien is still sitting there. Any one have any idea how i can access the original notice that describes the defect etc.? and, how to deal with resurrecting this and then closing it?
thanks in advance!
