About Us

Since 2004, Bronx Sidewalk Shed and Scaffolding has provided contractors and property owners with stellar services. We coordinate the setup around your project, handle the compliance details, and keep the structure maintained until it’s time to come down.

Note From Our Team

Our temporary structures are engineered strictly to satisfy NYC Building Code Section 3307 (Protection of Pedestrians). We manage everything from DOB NOW: Build permit filings and Design Drawings (CD5) to the mandatory daily and monthly inspection logs (Section 3307.7). Whether you need an emergency response for an AEU (Active Enforcement Unit) violation or structural scaffolding for a FISP Cycle 10 façade inspection, we deploy fully compliant setups that pass city scrutiny.

Chain-link and plywood fencing that secures your site, controls public access, and keeps you compliant with site-safety requirements.

Plastic Jersey Barriers

Lightweight, water-fillable barriers for separating pedestrians and traffic from active work zones are a faster, easier-to-place alternative to concrete for shorter-term jobs. 

Serving the Bronx, Block by Block

Operating in the Bronx requires solving neighborhood-specific engineering hurdles. For landmark row houses in Riverdale, we execute low-impact installations that protect historic masonry. 

In high-traffic transit hubs like Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse, we secure NYC DOT (Department of Transportation) street activity permits to manage heavy pedestrian flow around our steel columns. For industrial complexes in Hunts Point and Mott Haven, we install impact-resistant Plastic Jersey Barriers and heavy-duty plywood site fencing to separate active construction machinery from public thoroughfares.

What Clients Say About Us

Our pre-war building on the Grand Concourse got hit with an unexpected immediate overhead hazard violation from the DOB AEU unit. Pieces of our terra-cotta cornice were spalling. This team was a lifesaver. They navigated the DOB NOW portal for us, pulled emergency permits, and had a heavy-duty 300 PSF sidewalk shed with full parapet debris netting wrapped around our entrance within 24 hours. The inspector cleared the stop-work order on his follow-up walkthrough. Absolute professionals.

Arisdelsy M. Board President, Concourse Residential Co-op

We hired them for a multi-family ground-up build in Mott Haven. The lot line was incredibly tight, right up against a busy commercial sidewalk. They engineered a supported pipe scaffolding system that gave my masonry crews perfect facade access without choking off pedestrian traffic. They also handled the NYC DOT street activity permits for our staging area. Five months on-site, zero site-safety issues, and their monthly maintenance log inspection hand-offs were flawless.

Marcus T. Project Manager, Ironclad Construction Corp

We were doing roof work and stone restoration on a landmark property in Riverdale. Our architect was highly concerned about scaffolding anchoring damaging the historic brickwork. This team designed a low-impact scaffolding rig that safely distributed the weight without drilling deep anchor scars into our facade. From the estimate to the teardown, they treated our historic property with the expertise it deserved.

Our Process: 5 Steps to DOB-Compliant Installation

Step 1

Site Assessment & Engineering

We assess your Bronx property, including lot lines, sidewalk conditions, building access, structural considerations, and pedestrian flow. Where engineering is required, we develop a layout suited to the building and project conditions.

Step 2

DOB NOW Permit Filing & Approvals

Our team coordinates the required DOB NOW: Build filings, design documentation, and permit requirements for your project. When street activity affects public space, we also coordinate the applicable NYC DOT requirements.

Step 3

Precision Assembly & Safety Installation

Our qualified crews install the sidewalk shed, scaffolding, fencing, or barrier system according to the approved plans and project requirements. We handle structural connections, safety netting, access points, lighting, and other required components as applicable.

Step 4

Final Inspection & Compliance Documentation

Before the structure goes into service, we review the completed installation against the project requirements and provide the relevant inspection and maintenance documentation. We help keep required records organized throughout the rental period.

We serve properties throughout the borough, including Riverdale, Fordham, Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Kingsbridge, Parkchester, Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, Morris Park, Co-op City, Wakefield, and Soundview.

A sidewalk shed is a fixed overhead structure built to protect pedestrians on the sidewalk from falling debris. Scaffolding is a work platform that gives crews access to a building's exterior. Many projects require both the shed to protect the public while the work platform supports crews above it.

Yes. All installations are performed by a licensed and insured team, and every structure is built to meet current NYC Department of Buildings requirements.

Standard installations are typically scheduled within days. If your building has received an "Unsafe" violation from the DOB, we prioritize emergency installation and can often mobilize within hours.

We coordinate closely with property owners and contractors on the permitting and inspection process so your structure is filed correctly and stays compliant through every renewal cycle.
