Fence Installation & Repair services in Long Island City
Fence work in Long Island City is mostly commercial. The neighborhood grew up as factories, rail yards and warehouses along the East River and Newtown Creek, and a lot of that is now towers, studios, parking lots and building sites. We put up temporary panels around construction, chain link and steel around lots and loading areas, slide gates for truck entrances and enclosures for bins and equipment. Much of the land near the water is old fill with buried rubble and foundations, so we expect obstructions when we dig and plan for surface-mounted posts on slabs. There are homes too. Hunters Point has blocks of row houses, and Dutch Kills and Blissville mix small houses with shops and garages. On those blocks the job is usually a low front fence or a short rear run between buildings.

Permits and local rules
The New York City Building Code (section 3112.1) allows fences up to 10 feet outside residence districts, which covers much of Long Island City's manufacturing and commercial land. Residence districts are held to 4 or 6 feet. Row houses inside the Hunters Point Historic District also need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for a fence.
