Sidewalk Repair

We serve San Leandro from our Oakland base, one city south and in the same county. San Leandro gives frontage owners three routes: hire a properly licensed contractor and obtain a City Encroachment Permit, join the City's Annual Sidewalk Repair Program and reimburse the applicable program costs once the work is done, or request minor repairs from Public Works. The program is funded by the Alameda County Measure B and Measure BB sales taxes.
What makes San Leandro unusual is that its Administrative Code puts a number on the split. Under section 8.1.120(a)(1), where a tree in the public right of way causes a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch vertical offset measured at its highest point, the City root prunes the tree at the City's cost. Under 8.1.120(a)(2), from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch, the City root prunes and patches or grinds, again at the City's cost.
One and a half inches is the number that changes the invoice. At a 1 1/2 inch or greater offset caused by a right of way tree, section 8.1.120(a)(3) has the City place a temporary patch, repair the area by removal and replacement, and bear 50 percent of that cost, with the Sidewalk Inspector determining the area to be repaired. Anything the owner asks for beyond that determined area is at the owner's expense.
Take the tree out and the same damage costs more. Section 8.1.120(b) covers damage not caused by a street tree: from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch the City patches at its own cost, and at 1 1/2 inch or greater the owner bears 100 percent of the removal and replacement cost. So proving the cause is the highest value step before panel work is priced, and it is what our written survey records.

The City says it is not. San Leandro Public Works will perform minor repairs such as grinding or patching at no cost to the owner, and in the same breath the City describes it as often a temporary measure that will require future action. If a sale, a claim or an accessible route is involved, a temporary patch will not survive the inspection or the photograph.
Yes, and it is an Encroachment Permit rather than a building permit. The City's own instruction is to hire a properly licensed contractor and obtain that permit, so the application is the first step of the job rather than an afterthought once the concrete is ordered. We handle the paperwork as part of the scope so nothing stalls the pour.
The City does. Section 8.1.120(f) provides that all damage in a curb return is repaired at no cost to the property owner. Curb and gutter is treated differently: under 8.1.120(d) it counts as sidewalk for determining the limits and the cost of repairs. So a corner estimate should break the curb return out rather than lumping the whole corner into one number.
It is the middle route of the three. Rather than hiring your own contractor, you join the City's program and reimburse the applicable program costs once the work is complete. It suits an owner with no deadline. It suits nobody with an escrow date. The City sets out all three options on its own Sidewalk Repair Program page.
