What goes into installing new front steps in NYC — materials, permits, and what to expect.

New front step installation in NYC almost always requires a DOB permit and, for landmarked homes, LPC approval.
Common materials: bluestone treads on brick risers (classic brownstone look), poured concrete, or full brownstone restoration.
Expect 5–10 working days from demo through final cure, depending on weather and material.
