Meet Snow Removal Deadlines to Avoid Fines

To avoid fines for snow and ice on your sidewalk this winter, be sure to follow a smart snow removal policy. Section 16-123 of the city’s Administrative Code requires you to remove snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of your building. Fines range from $100 to $150 for the first violation, up to $350 for a third violation within 12 months of the first. Here’s what to do after every snowfall.
