Pearl City has no snow-clearing law; sidewalk maintenance falls under Chapter 13 on streets and sidewalks and Chapter 14 Article 3 on sidewalk construction and repair permits.
Because Oahu has no snow, no clearance ordinance exists. Chapter 13 governs obstruction of streets and sidewalks and Chapter 14 Article 3 covers sidewalk construction and repair permits. Pearl City's older concrete sidewalks frequently buckle from tree roots and settling soil, and owners abutting the damage are expected to coordinate permitted repair with the Department of Design and Construction. Owners must also keep hedges, trash cans, and stored items off the public walk. Military tenants should confirm with their landlord who carries the maintenance duty, as the obligation runs to the abutting property owner under the ordinance.
Overgrown hedges, unsecured stored items on the sidewalk, or unrepaired tripping hazards violate Chapter 13 and may require a Chapter 14 Article 3 sidewalk repair permit.
