Upper Darby, PA Property Maintenance: Snow & Sidewalk Clearing (2026)

1, Snow Removal: 'The owner, the owner's agent or tenant's property manager of any building or premises shall not later than 24 hours after snow has ceased to fall clear a path on the sidewalk of said property or premises. ' Where a single tenant leases or occupies the premises, that tenant is independently liable for the clearing duty alongside the owner, and the section explicitly states that vacant or unoccupied buildings are not exempt from the requirement. 2, Snow Disposal, which bars placing removed snow or ice in the gutter, sidewalk or street; where a property has no front yard to receive it, the cleared snow and ice must instead go on the section of sidewalk next to the curb line rather than back into the path of travel or the roadway.

4 as rewritten by § 417-11(G): the Director of Licenses and Inspections or a designee issues a notice of violation, and failure to comply is prosecuted as a summary offense or civil infraction, with each day of continued violation after notice treated as a separate offense.
