Most companies that put up a sidewalk shed treat it as an equipment rental: drop the structure, send the invoice, move on. The problem is that a shed isn’t equipment, it’s an open obligation with the NYC Department of Buildings, with permit deadlines, renewal filings, and penalties that climb every month it’s mismanaged.
We carry the full sidewalk shed and scaffolding line, but we run it differently: every shed is managed as a compliance obligation, from the first permit to final sign-off.
NYC’s facade rules changed hard in 2025, and a lot of operators are still quoting the old ones. Sidewalk shed permits are no longer good for a year, Local Laws 48 and 51 of 2025 capped them at 90 days, with no auto-renewal, mandatory registered-design-professional progress reports starting at the second renewal, and an escalating penalty schedule that runs from $10 to $200 per linear foot, per month, on idle sheds.
We don’t just install those rules; we manage your project around them so the shed comes down on schedule and the penalties never start. If you’re working with a contractor who still says “permits last a year,” you’re working with last year’s information.
A lot of the missed-deadline stories in this business trace to the same place: the company that sold the shed handed the work to a crew it doesn't control, and the renewal filing slipped through the gap. We don't outsource. The team that files your permit is the team on your sidewalk and the team tracking your 90-day renewals, one point of accountability, start to finish.
We manage your DOB account the way we manage the shed, kept in good standing the whole time it's up. We calendar renewal cycles, coordinate the RDP progress certifications, and keep filings accurate so a lapse never becomes a violation.
Our staging yards are positioned to mobilize for DOB-mandated "Unsafe" facade conditions within a 24-hour window. When fines accrue daily, response time is the whole job.
We provide end-to-end structural protection for emergency violation fixes, facade restoration projects, and multi-story construction work throughout NYC :
DOB-compliant overhead protection spec'd to your facade condition and frontage, with the permit filed and managed end to end.
24-hour mobilization for "Unsafe" facade ratings, to stop daily DOB penalties before they start accruing.
long-term rentals with 90-day renewals calendared and RDP progress reports coordinated, so the permit never lapses underneath you.
Fast, stable access scaffolding for facade repair, restoration, and FISP inspection work.
Custom tube-and-clamp systems built for irregular facades and tight NYC sites where a standard frame won't fit.
Swing-stage access for high-rise facade and FISP repair work above the reach of ground-supported systems.
traffic separation and site protection for active work zones and roadway-adjacent jobs.
perimeter fencing that secures the site and keeps pedestrians clear, sized to your footprint and DOT/DOB requirements.
