Residential property owners must clean the sidewalks adjoining their property and 18 inches from the curb into the street.
Sanitation agents can only issue violations for dirty sidewalks from 8 AM to 9 AM and from 6 PM to 7 PM, 7 days a week.
Commercial property owners must clean the sidewalks adjoining their property and 18 inches from the curb into the street.
Enforcement times are limited to two 1-hour periods per day and vary according to which Sanitation section the address is located in.
Most businesses normally closed on Saturdays or Sundays are exempt from enforcement on those days. Any businesses closed for an extended period must make arrangements to have the area maintained. Storefronts that are part of a large residential building may be subject to residential enforcement routing rules.
Enforcement times may differ for properties used for both commercial and residential purposes.
