The Upper East Side mixes townhouse blocks with large prewar co-ops and busy avenue storefronts. Many side streets are lined with mature street trees, and their roots are one of the most common reasons flags lift and crack in the neighborhood.
Whether you manage a building on the avenue or own a townhouse on a side street, Nova Contractors Manhattan handles the permit, the work and the DOT inspection as one project.
What’s Different About Sidewalk Work on the Upper East Side
- Root damage around tree pits on tree-lined side streets
- Townhouse frontages with stoops, areaways and cellar entrances
- Co-op and condo boards that need a clear written scope and schedule
- Blocks in historic districts, where the Landmarks Preservation Commission may need to approve changes to historic paving
