Severe weather conditions can destroy storefront facades, building structures, roofs, awnings, shatter facade glass/windows, etc.

Additionally, severe weather conditions can also damage sidewalks, equipment, and merchandise.

Once weather permits, business owners should be mindful of the following information:
·     Snow and ice must be removed within four hours after the snow has stopped falling or by 11 a.m. if the snow has not stopped falling after 9 p.m. the previous evening.

·     Snow must NOT be thrown into the street.

·     If the snow or ice becomes frozen so hard that it cannot be removed, the sidewalk can be strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust, or similar suitable material within the same time limits.

·     The sidewalk must be thoroughly cleaned as soon as the weather permits.

·     If there are high winds, please take in all loose standing objects that may become dislodged and harm pedestrians.

·     All ground level commercial/business owners should clear snow/ice from their awnings as soon as the weather permits to prevent structural collapse. If you have a retractable awning or shade, please close these devices.

·     One-story commercial property owners/lessees should clear snow/ice from their rooftops as soon as the weather permits to prevent possible collapse (a professional should perform this task).
