Huntington property owners must clear snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property within a reasonable time after snowfall ends, typically 24 hours. Liability for slip-fall injuries runs with property owner under NY common law.
Town Code Chapter 170 (Streets and Sidewalks) places responsibility for sidewalk maintenance and snow removal on adjoining property owners. Ice must be treated with sand, salt, or ice melt. Commercial property owners in Huntington Village face stricter enforcement under business district ordinances. Under NY common law, abutting owners can be liable for negligent snow removal injuries. Snow cannot be pushed into roadways or onto neighbor property.
Non-removal: 50-250 dollars first offense; civil liability for injuries separate. Town may clear and bill owner.
