Please remember that we ask people to clear their walkways so that EVERYONE has safe access throughout the City. Senior citizens, people with disabilities, strollers and mail carriers -just to name a few -struggle to negotiate hazardous walkways...we need to do our part to make our community safe and accessible for all.

• If a homeowner does not clear the sidewalk within 24 hours of snow falling, NIS (Neighborhood Inspection Services) may issue a Notice of Violation (this is a warning) that will be due in another 24 hours. Upon recheck, if the property is still in violation NIS will issue an administrative citation (this is a ticket). 
  
  
• If a business owner does not clear the sidewalk within 4 hours, NIS may issue a Notice of Violation that will be due in another 4 hours. Upon recheck, if the property is still in violation NIS will issue an administrative citation.
  
  
• The fine is $150.00 for the first citation, $500.00 for the second and $999.00 for the third.
