We file the DOB permit, build the shed or scaffold, and keep it standing until your work ends. Our Queens crew drives in from Brooklyn, and our line answers 24/7 with a 2-hour citywide average arrival.
The three structures we most often put up on Queens sites:
Protect pedestrians below active construction or facade repair.
Gives masons, window crews and roofers a stable platform along the wall.
Closes off an unsafe facade the same day you call.
A sidewalk shed protects people walking below. A scaffold holds the crew working on the wall. Many Queens facade jobs need both.
| Your Situation | Structure | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your Crew Works on a Wall Above the Sidewalk | Pipe Scaffolding | The crew gets a stable platform along the wall. |
| Pedestrians Walk Below Active Work | Sidewalk Shed | The roof catches falling debris before it reaches the sidewalk. |
| You Repair a Street-Facing Facade | Shed Plus Scaffold | The shed covers the sidewalk while the scaffold carries the crew. |
| The DOB Flagged Your Facade as Unsafe | Emergency Protection First | We close off the hazard, then plan the repair access. |
Not sure which row matches your building? Send the address and photos. We will name the structure and the filing it needs.
Queens projects follow the same NYC Building Code and DOB filing requirements that apply across the five boroughs. We prepare the plans, file with the DOB and track the application. We do not promise approval, because the DOB makes that call.
Buildings over six stories can fall under the Local Law 11 facade inspection cycle. When a facade condition calls for pedestrian protection or repair access, a sidewalk shed and scaffolding may be part of the required protection.
Every job follows the same five steps, so you know what happens next.
Our office sits at 8808 Foster Avenue in Brooklyn. Your call reaches a person at any hour, and our citywide average arrival is 2 hours. That figure covers all five boroughs.
Our line answers 24/7, and our citywide average arrival is 2 hours.
Yes. We prepare the plans and file with the DOB. The DOB decides approval.
Yes. Sheds and scaffolds need DOB approval before they go up. We draw the plans and file the application.
We price by address, not by borough. Four things move the number: linear feet and height, how many months it stands, sidewalk conditions such as trees and hydrants, and the permit and engineering scope. Send photos and the address, and the quote itemizes each one.
It stays until your facade or construction work ends and the DOB clears the site. A short repair runs weeks. A full facade project runs months. We inspect it while it stands and remove it when you finish.
Call (718) 256-2828 right away. We protect the sidewalk first, then build the access your repair crew needs. The facade rules that triggered the flag set the exact scope, so send us the violation or inspection report.
Send the address, photos and target start date, and we will review what the site needs. Licensed, $2M insured, answering 24/7.
