Update: Special Thanks to Mike Moore (Communications Manager / Mayor's Office) for the reply.
An e-mail to every member of City Council with the following questions:
Does Allentown have laws in place for snow removal from sidewalks?
What is the time period after a storm is over to have sidewalks cleared?
If laws are in place, why are they not being enforced for all businesses?
A link to this article was included.
Mr. Moore did reply with the ordinance regarding snow removal:
741.05 REMOVAL OF SNOW AND ICE A. All persons owning, controlling or occupying any private property, premises, lot or tract of land adjoining or fronting upon any of the streets of the City shall remove snow and ice from the sidewalk area or footway of such premises within ten (10) hours after it shall have ceased snowing, sleeting or raining as reported by the National Weather Service at the ABE Airport. It shall be considered compliance with this section if a cleared portion three (3') feet in width shall have been made upon such sidewalk or footpath. (12616 §1 8/15/84; 14365 §1 3/7/06; 15003 §1 6/20/12) B. No person shall remove snow or ice from private property and put, place, deposit or cause to be put, placed or deposited, snow or ice so removed upon the right-of-way of any street. (15003 §1 6/20/12) C. No person shall remove or cause to be removed snow or ice from any sidewalk or footway and put, place, deposit or cause to be put, placed or deposited, snow or ice so removed upon that portion of the street normally used for the travel of vehicles. (15003 §1 6/20/12) D. This section shall not be in force and effect in areas where curbside parking is prohibited, provided it is not a vehicle travel lane or there is no available private property upon which to put, place or deposit snow or ice so removed. (15003 §1 6/20/12) 7
The city’s SWEEP officers handle pro-active inspections. The city’s Engineering Bureau responds to snow/ice removal complaints. The city has issued 338 tickets for snow/ice removal since January 1, 2019. The city has not received any complaints regarding 1701 Building/Union Boulevard.
