Nearly 1,000 Tickets Issued as Snow Clearing Continues Across New York City

By Yisroel R.

Sanitation crews are continuing snow-clearing operations across New York City following snowfall on Sunday and cold conditions on Monday. Crews are working to address streets and pedestrian infrastructure areas that still need attention as efforts continue to improve safety across the city.

City officials are reminding property owners that they are required to clear snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their properties. More than 800 tickets were issued overnight to property owners who failed to meet snow-removal requirements.

Garbage and recycling collection is continuing as scheduled, and residents are advised to follow their normal set-out times.

Later today, the Department of Sanitation will welcome a new group of sanitation workers, along with additional civilian staff and newly promoted uniformed members. The additions will help strengthen city operations as winter conditions continue and support ongoing efforts to keep New York City clean and safe.
