Crown Heights runs from row house blocks in the north to large prewar apartment buildings along Eastern Parkway, with shops on Nostrand Avenue, Franklin Avenue and Kingston Avenue. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs sidewalks and concrete for homeowners, landlords and co-ops throughout the neighborhood.
The mix of row houses and apartment buildings means very different jobs on the same street. A single frontage can often be finished in a day, while a long apartment frontage is phased to keep entrances open. Either way, we file the DOT permit and handle the inspection.

Crown Heights FAQs
My row house is in Crown Heights North. Do I need Landmarks approval to replace the sidewalk?
Generally no. Crown Heights North is not one of the districts where LPC regulates sidewalk paving, so a standard concrete replacement does not need LPC approval. New or enlarged tree pits still do, and DOT permit rules apply as usual.
Can you repair the sidewalk in front of a large apartment building?
Yes. We phase long frontages so part of the sidewalk and the entrance stay open, and give the owner one written scope.
How much does a row house sidewalk cost in Crown Heights?
Most repairs run $10 to $25 per square foot depending on access, the base and tree roots. The price is fixed in writing once we measure.
