NEW YORK - Richmond Hill residents Carol and Jack Wolf have the home of their dreams, and the sidewalk of their nightmares.Since CBS New York first visited the retired couple on 127th Street in November, the concrete has continued to slope and crack in front of the house they've shared for five decades. The Wolfs say they were added to the city's waitlist in 2017 and told to expect repairs a year later. 'I don't think we should wait seven years,' Carol Wolf said.
'I don't want them to take the tree down.''I just want the sidewalk fixed,' Carol Wolf said.NYC Parks told CBS New York that repairs are prioritized based on the severity of the damage, adding that the quickest solution may be to hire an independent contractor and file for reimbursement. The couple suspects they would have to wait years to be reimbursed.'That's not fair,' Carol Wolf said.
