Sidewalk repair in the East Village
The East Village mixes tree-lined residential streets with avenues full of shops, bars and restaurants. The side streets bring tree-root damage; the avenues bring wear and trip hazards outside busy entrances.
Sidewalks in the East Village
On the numbered side streets, street trees in narrow tree pits lift and crack the flags around them, and over the years the damage spreads along the block.
On the avenues, the sidewalk outside a storefront takes heavy foot traffic late into the night. A shop owner with a trip hazard out front needs it fixed quickly with the business kept open, and that is how we plan the work. Owners of the walk-ups on the side streets get the same attention from Nevora Sidewalk Manhattan.

Questions from East Village property owners
A street tree lifted the sidewalk in front of my building. Who pays?
For one-, two- and three-family homes, the City no longer issues violations for damage caused solely by City street trees, and NYC Parks may repair it for free. Larger walk-ups and mixed-use buildings remain the owner’s responsibility.
Can the repair be done without closing my shop?
Yes. We phase the work so there is always a protected route to your entrance.
