Property owners are required to clean and sweep the sidewalks next to their property, including 18 inches from the curb into the street.

The Department of Sanitation can only issue a violation if the condition exists during an address's specific enforcement routing time.

If the condition doesn't exist at the time of inspection, no violations can be issued.

Report a dirty sidewalk.

What Happens Next

The Department of Sanitation will inspect the location in 3 to 7 business days. They may issue a summons, but they will not remove the debris.
