Honolulu has no snow, but Ewa Gentry property owners must keep abutting sidewalks safe and unobstructed under ROH Chapter 13 and related public-way ordinances.
Because Oahu is tropical, there is no snow-clearing ordinance. Instead, Chapter 13 and Chapter 14 Article 3 govern streets, sidewalks, and abutting-owner duties. Owners in Ewa Gentry should trim vegetation overhanging the walk, clear debris after wind events, and repair cracks under DPP sidewalk-repair permits before they become trip hazards. Flooding after heavy rains in the Ewa Plain can leave silt on walks that must be cleared. Obstructing a sidewalk with stored items, construction material, or parked vehicles is separately prohibited.
Ongoing sidewalk hazards can trigger Chapter 13 citations and civil liability if a pedestrian is injured.
