What happens when a property owner fails to clear their sidewalk?
The police are notified and may issue a ticket for the Town Ordinance violation. Currently the fine is $79 and each day the violation continues is a separate offense. If the walk is still not cleared, another ticket is issued and the DPW is notified. The DPW issues a letter directing the property owner to clear the sidewalk. If the property still fails to clear the walk, the DPW will clear the walk on overtime and invoice the property. That charge will be in addition to any fines which may have been imposed.
