Working in Audubon Park
Audubon Park is a small area where Hamilton Heights meets Washington Heights, centered roughly on West 155th to West 158th Streets between Broadway and Riverside Drive. Grand early twentieth century apartment buildings define the area, much of which lies within the Audubon Park Historic District. Trinity Church Cemetery borders it on the south, and Audubon Terrace, home to the Hispanic Society Museum and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, sits on Broadway.
Owners and managers here call Paverly Sidewalk Manhattan for permitted, insured work from the same crews behind our sidewalk repair Manhattan service in Washington Heights and across the borough.
Concrete repair in Audubon Park
Audubon Park sits on a slope that falls toward the Hudson, and buildings on Riverside Drive have entry steps, courtyards and areaways that must handle runoff from uphill blocks. Decorative entrances often include concrete landings beside stone or terra cotta trim that can crack if water gets in. We replace failing concrete with 4000 PSI mixes, protect adjacent masonry during removal and finish surfaces to suit the look of the district.
See how we rebuild failed slabs on our sidewalk replacement page, or read about curb repair and replacement.
Sidewalk repair in Audubon Park
Riverside Drive curves along the hillside here, and the adjoining sidewalks shift with grade changes and mature trees. Broadway near 155th Street is busy with bus riders, cemetery visitors and people headed to Audubon Terrace. Some frontages retain older paving materials that must be matched or replaced carefully. We level uneven panels, rebuild around tree pits and keep walks consistent along long building frontages.

ADA compliance in Audubon Park
Many older residents live in Audubon Park's large apartment buildings, and the medical campus around West 168th Street brings frequent patient trips through the area. The 157th Street station on the 1 train and bus stops along Broadway create steady pedestrian flows. We build entrance ramps within the 1:12 slope limit, correct cross slopes to 1:48 or less and create level landings at doorways so buildings are easier to reach.
Our ADA sidewalk compliance page explains what we measure and how we keep the scope small.
DOT violation removal in Audubon Park
Owners of Audubon Park's large apartment buildings, whether landlords or co-op boards, are responsible for the sidewalks along their frontages, which are often long corner lots, and liability under Administrative Code 7-210 applies. Violations may surface during refinancing or building sales. Because much of the area is landmarked, repairs may also involve Landmarks Preservation Commission review. We manage the DOT permit and repair so the violation can be resolved.
The full process, from permit to dismissal inspection, is on our DOT sidewalk violation removal page.

Do you handle DOT sidewalk violation removal in Audubon Park?
Yes. For properties in Audubon Park (ZIP 10032), we review the Notice of Violation, pull the NYC DOT permit, repair the cited flags and keep the records needed for the dismissal inspection.
