Blacktop and Pothole Repairs

Overview
Pothole patching takes place year round. The Bureau repairs potholes and small defects in the road surface. Some roads require resurfacing of the entire road. This is handled by the Bureau of Engineering and a resurfacing contract is generally let to bid annually.

Patching
Hot Asphalt Patching- During the summer months, the maintenance crews use hot mix asphalt to repair potholes and erosion areas.

Cold Asphalt Patching- This is used primarily in the winter months when production of hot mix asphalt is not feasible. It is used for pothole patching only and typically does not last as long as hot mix asphalt patching.

To report any potholes or paving problems, please contact the Bureau at (914) 235-4029 during the hours of 7:30-3:30pm
