      Council Member Farías inquires about DOT's process for sidewalk inspections and repairs, particularly in response to complaints about cracks. DOT officials explain their comprehensive approach to sidewalk maintenance.

      • Inspections are often complaint-driven but cover entire blocks, not just individual properties
      • Property owners receive notices to correct, not monetary fines
      • DOT coordinates with Parks Department for tree-related sidewalk damage
      • The agency can make repairs and backcharge property owners if necessary
