Brick Replacement
Cracked and missing brick swapped for units that match yours, so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.
This is work we self-perform, week in and week out. If it is on your notice, it is on our schedule.
Why this matters to you
This is not usually what the City writes you up for. It is what keeps you from being written up again. We do it as part of a violation repair, or on its own for owners who would rather maintain a building than argue about it with an inspector in two years.
Already holding a notice?
Start with the violation guide. It is organised by the wording the City uses, so you can find your item in about a minute.

The joints get ground out and repointed to match, so the wall stops shedding mortar and the inspector stops writing it up.
The wall above your roof line made solid again, so nothing is loose over the sidewalk and water stops entering the top of the building.
The most weather-beaten masonry you own, rebuilt, capped and made watertight so it stops feeding damage into the rest of the wall.
Rusting steel above your windows replaced before it lifts the brick any further. This one gets worse and more expensive every year you wait.
The masonry under your windows repaired and pitched properly, which is the cheapest way to stop water getting into the wall.
The details that make a Chicago greystone or two-flat worth what it is worth, stabilised and restored instead of stripped off.
