Brick and stone work across Yonkers, from the multi-family buildings off South Broadway to the houses in Crestwood. Repointing, chimneys, retaining walls, steps and waterproofing. Sardar Restoration Corp is licensed and insured and files with the Yonkers Department of Housing and Buildings.
Yonkers changes character as you move north, and the masonry changes with it.
Below Getty Square the stock is older multi-family brick with flat roofs, parapets and fire escapes, much like the north Bronx. North and east of there it is houses, driveways and garden walls. The two need different trades.
Not the county and not New York City. The Yonkers Department of Housing and Buildings on Nepperhan Avenue reviews applications, issues permits and inspects the work.
The city requires its own Home Improvement Contractor’s License before it will issue a permit on a 1 to 3 family home. A county license does not cover it, which catches out contractors working across Westchester.
Streets climb hard here and a lot of masonry is holding something back: retaining walls, stepped foundations, terraced yards. When those move, the cause is almost always water and drainage behind the wall.
Sardar Restoration Corp is licensed and insured, carrying general liability and workers’ compensation on every job. Work in Yonkers falls under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code together with the city’s own building code, and permits are issued by the Yonkers Department of Housing and Buildings. We handle that filing as part of the job. The company is led by Muhammad Ali.
Brick, stone and concrete work for Yonkers homes, multi-family buildings and commercial property.
The city runs from the Bronx line up to the Hastings border, and the housing shifts the whole way.
Brick, stone and concrete work completed across the city.
The Yonkers Department of Housing and Buildings, based on Nepperhan Avenue. Yonkers is a city, so it runs its own department rather than going through Westchester County, and it is not covered by the New York City Department of Buildings. Applications go through the city’s online filing system with two sets of plans and proof of insurance.
For a 1 to 3 family house, yes, and the license has to be a City of Yonkers one. Yonkers requires a Home Improvement Contractor’s License issued by its own Consumer Protection Bureau before the building department will release a permit. A Westchester County license does not substitute for it, which is something a lot of contractors working across the county do not realize.
Yes. Under a Yonkers local law, a building permit can be refused if the property owner is delinquent on city or county property taxes for the property in question, until the taxes, fees and interest are paid. It is worth checking your account before scheduling work, because it is not something a contractor can resolve for you.
No. Local Law 11 and the facade inspection program it created are New York City law and they do not extend past the city line. Yonkers follows the New York State Uniform Code alongside its own building code. That said, a neglected parapet on a Yonkers multi-family is the same physical risk it would be in the Bronx, and the city can act on unsafe conditions under its own code.
Usually it is the water behind it rather than the wall itself. Yonkers is built on a steep grade and a lot of its masonry is holding back earth, so drainage carries most of the load. When a drain blocks or was never installed, pressure builds until the wall rotates or bulges. Rebuilding without fixing the drainage buys a few seasons at most.
Yes, our masonry and restoration work includes service warranties based on the type of repair.
