Core Access Service
Protective pedestrian sheds for construction, facade repair, and FISP/Local Law 11 inspection work — DOB-permitted, code-compliant, and coordinated with your suspended scaffold or swing stage rig. We manage installation, rental, and every permit renewal cycle.
Whenever suspended scaffold, facade repair, or new construction work happens above a public sidewalk, NYC DOB requires a sidewalk shed to protect pedestrians below.
Skybridge Access installs and rents sidewalk sheds across NYC and the metro area — engineered to DOB code for load capacity, clearance, lighting, and signage, and coordinated directly with the suspended scaffold, swing stage, or outrigger system working above. We also manage the full DOB permit lifecycle, including the periodic renewal filings required under recent Local Law 48/51 changes, so your shed never lapses out of compliance mid-project.
Sheds sized and engineered to the frontage of active construction or facade repair sites, protecting pedestrians for the duration of the job.
Sheds installed alongside suspended scaffold and rope access rigs for facade inspection cycles, sized to the inspection scope and timeline.
Full filing and ongoing renewal management under current Local Law 48/51 requirements, so your shed stays legally in place without gaps.
Sidewalk shed and suspended scaffold/swing stage rig scoped and installed as one coordinated job, not two separate vendors.
Sidewalk shed permits have a limited duration and require manual renewal with DOB fees each cycle under current Local Law 48/51 rules, plus ongoing progress documentation. We handle the full filing and renewal process for the life of the project, so the shed never falls out of compliance.
Every job fully compliant, no surprises mid-project.
We track and file every permit renewal cycle so your shed never lapses.
Emergency deployments and accelerated timelines when you need us now.
Sidewalk shed and suspended access scoped together as one job.

NYC DOB generally requires a sidewalk shed to protect pedestrians whenever construction, facade repair, or suspended scaffold work is happening above a public sidewalk, including for FISP/Local Law 11 inspection and repair cycles.
Under recent Local Law 48/51 changes, sidewalk shed permits issued or renewed have a maximum duration and require manual renewal with a DOB fee each cycle, along with progress documentation. We manage the renewal filings so your shed stays legally in place without lapses.
Yes — sidewalk sheds are frequently installed together with suspended scaffold, swing stage, or outrigger systems on the same job, since the shed protects pedestrians below while the rig works the facade above. We coordinate both systems as one job.
NYC DOB requires minimum clearance height, a rated load capacity for the shed roof (protecting against falling debris), proper lighting, and specific signage. We engineer and install to full code requirements for the specific site.
Cost depends on the linear footage of frontage, duration, and site complexity. We provide itemized quotes covering installation, monthly rental, and DOB permit/renewal management so there are no surprise costs mid-project.
Tell us your building frontage, project timeline, and any suspended access work happening above — we'll get the shed engineered, permitted, and installed.
