DSNY Rules Regarding Snow Removal:

• Whether you’re the owner, tenant, occupant or the person in charge of any lot or building, you must clear the snow and/or ice from your sidewalk within four (4) hours after the snow has stopped falling, or by 11 a.m. if the snow stopped falling after 9 p.m. the night before.
• If the snow becomes frozen and too hard to remove, you may spread clean, unused cat litter, salt, sand, sawdust or another similarly suitable material within the same time limits.
• As you clear your sidewalk, keep in mind: YOU MUST NOT THROW SNOW INTO THE STREET. It’s against the law, and it forces Sanitation to re-plow your street. Also, you should never cover fire hydrants with snow – this could interfere with firefighting efforts.
• The bottom line is sidewalks must be thoroughly cleaned as soon as the weather permits. If you have a corner store that includes the side street also
