Curbs and pedestrian ramps take direct hits from plows, trucks and salt, and they are governed by strict ADA and NYC DOT rules for slope, width and detectable warnings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for curbs and corner ramps in NYC?
The owner of the adjoining property is responsible for the sidewalk, and for a corner property that includes the intersection quadrant and its pedestrian ramps. Anyone rebuilding a corner has to install ramps to the DOT standard.
What makes a curb ramp ADA compliant?
Under the 2010 ADA Standards: a running slope no steeper than 1:12, a cross slope no steeper than 1:48, a landing that slopes no more than 1:48, and a detectable warning surface at the curb.
Can you add a curb cut for my driveway?
Yes. A curb cut needs drawings filed with the Department of Buildings by a design professional and a DOT permit pulled by a licensed contractor. We coordinate the filings and build the cut to the DOT standard detail.
