Honolulu has no snow-clearing ordinance, but Kapolei owners must keep sidewalks abutting their property free of obstructions and disrepair under ROH Chapter 13.
Oahu does not receive snow, so there is no snow-removal law. Instead, Chapter 13 and Chapter 14 Article 3 cover streets, sidewalks, and owner duties. Kapolei property owners should trim hedges, clear storm debris, and promptly repair uplifted panels. Sidewalk repairs require a DPP permit and must match the city's surface-type and slope standards to remain ADA-compliant. Kapolei's many wide commercial sidewalks also face signage and obstruction rules against unauthorized displays. After heavy rains in the city core, standing water should be cleared to prevent mosquito breeding.
Continuing hazards can trigger Chapter 13 enforcement, civil liability for injuries, and ADA complaints.
