Your responsibility in removing snow and ice from the sidewalks

Many people rely on walking and transit as their primary way to get around, and without a wide, clear path through snow and ice, it is especially difficult for people with disabilities, seniors, and children to walk safely.  According to the Municipal Code of Chicago (4-4-310 & 10-8-180), property owners and occupants are responsible for keeping sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sidewalk Snow Removal

Do the new regulations for sidewalk snow removal in Chicago apply to home, business, and property owners?

Yes, the new sidewalk snow regulations affect all home, business, and property owners in Chicago. Business owners that rent space adjacent to sidewalks are responsible for shoveling snow under the ordinance. Some landlords for residential and commercial property hold tenants responsible for snow clearance as a part of their lease agreements, other don’t. Renters who aren’t certain of their shoveling responsibilities should check their rental agreements or ask their landlords for clarification.

 

 

44th Ward Shovel Assistance

My office offers snow shoveling assistance to 44th Ward seniors and residents with disabilities. If you need or someone you know needs assistance with snow removal, please complete the questionnaire below.

Winter Snow Parking Restrictions

Beginning December 1st the City’s seasonal parking restrictions for snow removal are in effect. Major throughways such as Ashland, Belmont, Halsted, Clark, and others do not allow for parking when snow is over two inches deep. Streets such as these become a tow zone when there are more than two inches of snow. Please be mindful of the signs on your street as the weather changes. If your car is towed you can call 311 or to search for your car’s location online click here.
