Description
I have reported this numerous times. My sidewalk was damaged by city construction. This happened approximately 4 years ago, when the city was replacing sidewalks on Quinnipiac Ave to Clifton St. Further damage happened when sewer lines were worked on twice in a 2 year period. Construction vehicles parked on my sidewalk, causing damage to both the sidewalk and my retaining blocks.

First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".
In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.
We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.
