STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City officials issued 325 summonses across Staten Island for sidewalk snow shoveling failures after this weekend\u2019s storm, the Department of Sanitation said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s nearly three times more than the 150 issued following the snowstorm that blew through on Dec. 14.<\/a><\/p>\n

Vincent Gragnani, the department\u2019s press secretary, said those Staten Island fines were among about 3,577 issued citywide since the storm hit Friday evening into Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe issue these summonses because every New Yorker deserves to be able to walk our sidewalks safely,\u201d Gragnani wrote in an emailed statement. \u201cClearing snow and ice from sidewalks is one of the responsibilities of anyone who owns property in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city requires property and business owners to clear snow and ice off sidewalks and other pedestrian walkways to create a 4-foot-wide path for passersby.<\/p>\n

Fines for the initial summons are from $100 to $150 and for every summons thereafter, between $150 and $350, according to a city information sheet.<\/p>\n

The five boroughs received about 4 inches of snow in the weekend storm with one Staten Island measurement coming in at 4.6 inches. Totals fell short of the forecasted 7 to 9 inches.<\/p>\n

Accumulations also came in below the storm earlier in December that brought between 5 and 6 inches of snow to Staten Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City officials issued 325 summonses across Staten Island for sidewalk snow shoveling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85021,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-85020","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85020\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
