Reminder to Philadelphia residents/property owners:
Within six hours of the end of a snowfall or freezing rain, you must clear a path at least 36 inches wide on your sidewalk including curb cuts. Owners of corner properties must clear at least a 36 inch path connected to the curb. Paths should not simply wrap around the corner. Do not shovel or sweep the snow into the street. The penalty for violating this regulation can range from a minimum fine of $50 up to $300 for each violation. To report a sidewalk that has not been cleared, residents my call the Streets Department Customer Affairs Unit at (215) 686-5560. All City services can be reported to 3-1-1.
