Please, with eight million residents, there are enough people from NYC on
this board to be able to provide a vaguely knowledgeable answer without

for the entire house connection from the City sewer, no matter whether it is
under City property or the homeowner's property. They are also responsible
for maintaining the sidewalk even though it is City property.

Same goes for the tree, but I don;t thikn it's a big deal to the city
if the tree comes down due to the work... Just plant a new one. You can
also break up the sidewalk, as long as you repair it. I believe the
colors of the cement have to match... dunno about licences, but I'd bet
you need'em.
