Did you receive a violation notice regarding the condition of your sidewalk? You’re not
alone. In Montclair, more than 170 properties have already been notified under the new
Ordinance O-25-05. At Angels Contractors, we explain what steps to take and how to
avoid fines.
What is Ordinance O-25-05?
Approved in March 2025, Ordinance O-25-05 requires all Montclair property owners to be
responsible for the maintenance and repair of their sidewalks and curbs.
If the municipality determines that a sidewalk is unsafe or non-compliant, an official notice
will be issued. From the date of notification, you have 45 days to complete the necessary
repairs.
What happens if you don’t take action?
Failure to comply with this ordinance may result in:
- Civil fines and penalties
- Legal action
- Forced repairs at the property owner’s expense
What should you do if you receive a notice?
- Review your notification: Confirm the date and the affected area.
- Act quickly: You only have 45 days to fix the issue.
- Hire a certified contractor: Ensure they are registered in Montclair and
experienced in this type of work.
The Risk of Hiring Cheap Contractors
We know there are contractors offering tempting low prices. But be careful:
- Many are unlicensed or not registered in Montclair
- Others subcontract companies with minimal safety standards and
experience, putting your project at risk - They often work without permits and do not comply with the ordinance
- If inspected, they may disappear without assuming responsibility
This not only puts you at risk of paying twice, but may also lead to additional fines and
costly delays—something the municipality no longer tolerates.
