Snow & Ice Removal Reminder (Village Code 296-1)

Property owners/occupants are responsible for clearing sidewalks and gutters after snowfall:

• All other districts: Clear snow/ice from sidewalks and gutters within 24 hours after snow stops.

If snow/ice is frozen and cannot be removed without damaging the sidewalk, the sidewalk may be treated with sand, salt, sawdust, or similar material within the required time, and then thoroughly cleared as soon as weather permits.

Additional safety requirements under Village Code

• Take action to prevent snow, ice, or water from falling from buildings onto public sidewalks.
• Do not deposit, plow, throw, or place snow or ice into or onto any street or sidewalk within the Village.
• Do not pile snow within six (6) feet of a street/roadway so that the pile exceeds 3 feet 6 inches above natural grade.

• Report downed trees immediately to the Village of Mamaroneck Police Department at 914-777-1122 so the appropriate response can be dispatched.
