I hate to be a tattle tail, but man there are some houses in the neighborhood whose sidewalks are extremely dangerous.


Yes it's a city ordinance and they can be issued a ticket (for not shoveling sidewalks or for shoveling snow into the street).

You should call the Mayor's Action Bureau at 201 547-4900 or the Neighborhood Improvement District at 201 547-5683 to report sidewalks that haven't yet been shoveled. You can also try the Office of Emergency Management at 201 547-5566 or 201 547-5681.

Complete info here: http://www.cityofjerseycity.com/uploa ... s/Snow%20Storm%202010.pdf

(Of course, the sidewalk on my block that's in front of publicly owned property hasn't been shoveled except for what I did myself...)


Thanks for that ... but there is no answer at 3 of those numbers (and no answering machine?!?), and the 4th is busy. W...T...F, lol.


Typical, right? That same site also claims that JCIA workers will shovel out all crosswalks by hand once the major part of the snowfall and associated plowing is done. If I ever see that happening, I'll know that it's no ordinary snowstorm but hell freezing over...

I note that a lot of detached single family homes in town have gradually paved over every bit of lawn in order to ad two or three parking spots to their properties. I have always deplored this since it?s a bit soul crushing to see an entire block of homes with not a single one sporting an actual green lawn- just a continuous vista of cement and parked S.U.V.s. Now they pay the price as they find there is no place left upon which they can heap the snow as they try to dig out. One or two have a single 7 foot high mound on the only patch of dirt they didn?t sacrifice for parking.

...and once again Barrrow Street Bar forgets it has a Mercer Street sidewalk in addition to a Barrow Street sidewalk. The latter is clear; the former, a sheet of ice.

I believe the law is 8 hours or sunrise, whichever comes first.
It's in the snow thread. Not sure who to call.
We have a repeat offender. I was gonna tattle on them this time, but for the first time in years it was shoveled.

I received this email from Jan. Perhaps other neighborhoods might post similar contacts here for snow shoveling for seniors/handicapped in their area.

Do you know of any seniors or handicapped neighbors in Hamilton Park that will need to be shoveled out after this storm?

If I receive the names and addresses back from this email of seniors and or handicapped you know who will need assistance in shoveling them out, the next email to follow from me will be requesting volunteers to shovel these addresses. Thanks!

Best,

The city also reminds residents that they are required to shovel snow and ice from the sidewalks surrounding their property within eight hours of snowfall or by sunrise, whichever comes first.

Business owners are required to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks surrounding their property within four hours of snowfall or by sunrise, whichever comes first.

When shoveling snow, residents and business owners are asked to create a path wide enough for a stroller or wheelchair to get through.

Anyone who does not shovel their sidewalk could receive a summons from the Jersey City Incinerator Authority or the Division of Neighborhood Improvement.

It is also a violation of city ordinance to put snow into the street once the street has been plowed. Residents are required to pile all shoveled snow against the curb line.

Any nurse, doctor or other hospital emergency personnel who needs assistance getting from their residence in Jersey City to a medical facility in Jersey City can contact Office of Emergency Management for a pickup, the city said in a news release.

Call (201) 547-5566 or (201) 547-5681.
