Dangerous Sidewalks
-
Sidewalk and curb maintenance, by city ordinance, is the
responsibility of the property owner. The property owner, agent
or tenant, as the owner may determine, is responsible for
removing snow from the sidewalk at the end of a snowstorm. The
regulations require that there should be a path cleared of not
less than 30 inches in width, on the sidewalk, abutting the
property. As a courtesy to your neighbors and other pedestrians,
provide as wide a path as possible, and cut out handicap ramps
and inlets.
