As municipal officials report: – To ensure the safety of all residents, we remind property managers, owners and administrators of the need to clear snow and ice from the pavements adjoining their properties.
They add:
Owners and managers of buildings are responsible for:
- removing snow and ice accumulated on roofs, and clearing mud, snow, ice and other contaminants from pavements located directly alongside the property (...)
- removing overhangs (icicles) from eaves, gutters and other parts of the property.
They also emphasize:
Neglecting these duties is an offence punishable by a fine or by referring a request for punishment to the court.
