Questions and Answers
Sidewalk repairs must be completed at the time of title transfer or the permitting of a major renovation. This page provides answers to frequently asked questions for property owners, sellers, and buyers.
If your sidewalk requires repair, you will need to hire a licensed contractor permitted by the City to complete the repairs. After repairs are completed, the licensed contractor (or professional engineer or licensed architect) self-certifies that the work has been performed according to code and completes a Sidewalk Certificate of Compliance through the DOT Permit Counter. Note: You do not need to wait for a City inspection to receive your Sidewalk Certificate of Compliance.
If your sidewalk does not require repair, you will need a licensed contractor (or professional engineer or licensed architect) to self-certify that the sidewalk is in compliance and complete a Sidewalk Certificate of Compliance through the DOT Permit Counter. Again, you do not need to wait for a City inspection to receive your Certificate of Compliance.
If your property does not have a sidewalk,you can file for a no-fee Sidewalk Compliance Certificate Certificate of Compliance through the DOT Permit Counter. Bring along recent photos of the sidewalk zone. No need to hire a contractor.

Q. How do I know if my sidewalk requires repair?
Any crack, depression, or vertical offset of more than ¼ inch is considered a defect, according to the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.
Q. Which documents will I need to certify my sidewalk?
Any documents that support the representation made in your application including the inspection report, a detailed contractor’s invoice, and photographs of the sidewalk (before and after, as appropriate). Supporting documents will be scanned and added to the certification record in OakDOT’s permit database.
In 2009, the EPA, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the United States Environmental Protection Agency), and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board ordered the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to fix old and cracked sanitary pipes.
This includes six East Bay cities. Many of these pipes are in dire need of repair to prevent the inclusion of rainwater. If left untreated, rainwater infiltration can easily overwhelm wastewater pipes and treatment facilities. The result is partially treated wastewater being released into the Bay, which is not good for anybody.
The EPA compelled EBMUD and its participating partners to engage in a special program. The EPA compelled EBMUD and its partners to phase in a Regional Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) Ordinance. Beginning in 2011, involved property owners must obtain a certificate from EBMUD certifying all their PSLs are free of leaks.
