East Harlem mixes walk-up tenement buildings, mixed-use corners and busy commercial strips along East 116th Street, Third Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs sidewalks, curbs and concrete for building owners, landlords and shop owners across the neighborhood.
Many properties here are corner lots and mixed-use buildings, where the owner is responsible for the sidewalk, the corner quadrant and its pedestrian ramps. We price all of it clearly, file the DOT permit and phase the work so stores can stay open.

East Harlem FAQs
I own a corner building. What am I responsible for?
The sidewalk along both frontages, plus the intersection quadrant and its pedestrian ramps. We include all of it in one written estimate.
Can my store stay open while you repair the sidewalk?
Yes. We barricade and pour in sections so customers can still reach the entrance.
What about the cellar doors in my sidewalk?
We work around sidewalk cellar doors and finish the new concrete to meet the frame. If the frame itself is damaged, we tell you before we start.
