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.
