Concrete Sidewalk Repair Ridgefield NJ

The Borough of Ridgefield NJ REQUIRES all homeowners to fix their sidewalks! See below.

Chapter 350 Section 17 (ecode360.com)

“In case any sidewalk becomes out of repair, the owner or occupant of lands abutting said sidewalk shall forthwith repair or cause the same to be repaired and made in good and passable condition and shall conform to the requirements of § 350-16 of this chapter. It shall be the obligation of the abutting property owner or occupant to inspect any sidewalk abutting his property and no provision contained in this chapter shall be construed as an assumption by the Borough of Ridgefield, its agents, servants or employees of the obligation to make such inspection.”

Sidewalk repair and maintenance in the State of New Jersey is the responsibility of the abutting property proprietor. A lot of house proprietors are not aware of this ordinance and they assume that their city or state is responsible for repairing broken sidewalks. In most cases, the home proprietor will employ contractors to make the repair or their city will hire the work but will assess the house proprietor for 100% of the repair cost. In 2012, the borough of Highland Park in New Jersey launched a program that demanded estate owners to repair defective sidewalks adjacent to their homes. Your city or borough can be next!
A lawsuit waiting to happen…

Property proprietors in Ridgefield are liable for preserving the sidewalks adjacent to their property.

Your municipality or borough may also send you a notice demanding you to fix your sidewalk. Failure to conform within a certain time frame will result in fines and penalties. Spare yourself a lawsuit and fines by hiring a sidewalk repair company ASAP!

Types of Sidewalk Defects

There are many types of defective sidewalks that can prove dangerous for Ridgefield pedestrians.

  • Tree roots: When sidewalks go too long without repair, tree roots may cause them to become uneven.
  • Collapsed sidewalks: Severely damaged sidewalks may have large parts caved in or separated from the rest of the walkway. This type of a situation certainly poses a serious fall hazard.
  • Trip hazards: It is easy to trip and fall on large cracks that cut across poorly maintained sidewalks.
  • Improper slope: Uneven sidewalks may have large portions that do not line up with the rest of the walkway.
  • Patchwork: In an effort to save money on repairs, it is common to see inadequate patchwork jobs on specific locations that make the sidewalk surface uneven.
  • Missing cobblestones and bricks: It is necessary to properly maintain walkways that are not made from concrete to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
