Showing ordinances that apply to Montrose, NY
Montrose is an unincorporated community (population 2,862) in Westchester County, New York. Because Montrose is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Westchester County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The snow & sidewalk clearing rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Westchester County maintains county roads and parks but does not require homeowners to clear sidewalks — that duty is set by each municipality. Typical rule: sidewalks cleared within 12-24 hours after snow ends.
County Department of Public Works plows county roads (CR-designated routes) and clears sidewalks inside county-owned park and building property. Residential sidewalk clearing is a municipal obligation. Example — Yonkers requires sidewalks cleared within 24 hours; White Plains and many villages use a 12-hour rule. Fines typically $50-$250 first offense.
