Home and business owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of their properties. The city gave owners a deadline of 12:30 p.m. the next day to avoid fines<\/a>, which can reach up to $350 for multiple offenses, according to the Department of Sanitation. And, the city is asking residents to call 311 if they see piles of snow on sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Property owners are expected to clear a path at least four-feet wide with clear access to crosswalks. Owners must spread salt on frozen ground and shovel any relevant bus stops and fire hydrants, according to DSNY.<\/p>\n

It was no small task after the storm dropped nearly a foot of snow on the city. Central Park saw 11.4 inches of snow while areas in the Bronx saw over a foot.<\/p>\n
