Bedford-Stuyvesant is known for block after block of brownstones and row houses, many in landmark historic districts, with retail along Fulton Street, Nostrand Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs sidewalks, stoops and concrete for Bed-Stuy homeowners and landlords.
Brownstone frontages need care: stoops, areaways, iron fences, tree pits and, on many blocks, regulated historic paving. We check the block’s Landmarks status, protect the stoop during the pour and match the scoring, tint and finish of the street.

Bedford-Stuyvesant FAQs
My brownstone is in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District. What changes?
Sidewalk paving is regulated there, so replacement needs LPC approval. Intact bluestone or granite should be kept, and new concrete is tinted and scored to match the neighboring paving. We check your block before we quote and include the LPC step in the plan.
Can you repair my stoop and sidewalk together?
Yes. Stoop landings and steps can be repaired in the same visit, with the stoop protected while the sidewalk is poured.
A street tree lifted my sidewalk. Is the City responsible?
For 1 to 3 family homes, the City no longer issues violations for damage caused only by City trees, so check the Trees and Sidewalks program first. Work near the tree needs a Parks permit either way.
