> There is also a legal (not to mention moral and ethical) requirement to clear snow from the sidewalk in front of your property within 24 hours of a snowfall.
What happens if you're away from home for a week (or a month)?
You either have to arrange for someone else to do it, or, the city will do it and issue a fine / charge.
In practice, enforcement is complaint-driven, so the city won’t generally do anything until someone takes the time to report it.
Reporting it may sound meddlesome, but watching an elderly person trying to move around the day after a heavy snowfall is nothing short of tragic. It’s a real issue of equity that needs to be taken more seriously than it is.
