Snow removal reminder from city police
"After the snowstorm this past weekend, we received numerous complaints regarding people plowing and/or blowing snow into the street, onto others' property, and onto fire hydrants. We remind you that it is against the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law to plow snow onto a public roadway. Also, the City Code of Ordinances require a property owner to maintain the entire width of the sidewalk in front of their property clear from snow, ice and other obstructions. Such removal shall be completed by 6 p.m. the following day. In the event of a continuous long-term snowfall or blowing and drifting of snow, removal shall occur on a minimum of twenty-four-hour intervals."
