Snow is extremely rare in Inglewood due to its Southern California coastal plain climate. No snow removal ordinance exists. Property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks clear of debris under general property maintenance codes.
Inglewood snow removal ordinance requires property owners and occupants to clear snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property within 24 to 48 hours after snowfall ends. A clear path of at least 36 to 48 inches wide is typically required. Ice that cannot be removed must be treated with sand or de-icing agents. Corner properties must also clear curb ramps. Elderly or disabled residents may qualify for assistance programs. The city handles street plowing but sidewalks are the property owner’s responsibility. Failure to clear creates slip-and-fall liability.
Failure to clear: $25 to $250 per occurrence. City may clear and bill property owner. Injury liability for negligent non-clearance.
