Replacing the pathway that runs through our property (connecting 62nd Drive and 63r Road at 98th Street) with bricks is an excellent idea as the bricks will last for a very long time. I can only hope that contractor obtained a NYC Permit to perform that renovation.
As I understand it – to retain ownership of a public pathway that runs through your property, that pathway must be closed to all foot traffic for one entire day every year. When the property owner fails to do that then the pathway becomes the property of the City of New York.
Thus, a Department of Transportation Permit is required prior to any reconstruction.
I point this out because our board and management are like faulty light bulbs. Sometimes bright but mostly flickering.
