Welcome

The Bureau of Sidewalks and Permits assures proper maintenance of the City’s public sidewalks; issues citations, violation notifications, and permits; and administers two sidewalk repair programs.

Property owners with damaged sidewalks may be issued notifications from this Bureau for repairs which are needed to eliminate non-compliant aprons, curbs, & sidewalks.

The 50/50 sidewalk repair program was designed to encourage the repair of non-compliant sidewalks, aprons, & curbs. The City of Cleveland partners with residents and each pays 50% of the total cost to have the sidewalks repaired. Construction typically opens every spring; however, the city’s matching funds are limited, and the program closes when all City funds allocated have been exhausted.
