NYC sidewalk clearing rules for businesses
According to the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY), building owners and occupants must clear a sidewalk path at least four feet wide, clear around fire hydrants and at curb cuts and pedestrian ramps, and must not shovel, blow or push snow into the street. The deadlines depend on when the snow stops falling:
- Snowfall ends between 7:00 AM and 4:59 PM: clear within 4 hours
- Snowfall ends between 5:00 PM and 8:59 PM: clear within 14 hours
- Snowfall ends between 9:00 PM and 6:59 AM: clear by 11:00 AM
If ice is frozen too hard to remove, DSNY allows salt, sand or other granular material to improve traction. DSNY lists fines of $100 for a first offense, $150 for a second and $250 for a third or later offense. Always check the DSNY page for the current rules. The underlying law is NYC Administrative Code § 16-123.
Seasonal contracts and the 2-inch trigger
- Dispatch: storm dispatch runs 24/7.
- Plowing trigger: plowing starts once 2 inches of snow accumulate.
- Salting: salting starts before snow reaches 2 inches, so walks and entrances are treated early.
