Englewood property owners must clear snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends or after ice has formed on the walkway.
Article IX of the Englewood Code requires every owner of land abutting or bordering a sidewalk to remove snow or ice within 24 hours after snow ceases falling or ice forms. Owners must keep sidewalks safe, passable, and orderly at all times, free from snow, ice, leaves, grass, weeds, debris, or obstructions. Violations are punishable by fines up to $500, imprisonment up to 90 days, or both, providing strong incentives for prompt clearing during winter storms.
Leaving snow or ice on a sidewalk beyond 24 hours, allowing debris to obstruct passage, or repeated failures to clear walkways triggers municipal court action.
