NEW YORK (PIX11) – A snow alert has been issued for New York City ahead of a storm that may bring 1 to 3 inches of snow on Friday, city officials said.
The New York City Department of Sanitation issued the snow alert for Friday beginning at 3 a.m. through Saturday at 1 a.m.
Precipitation is expected to begin as early as 3 a.m. Friday and last as late as 10 p.m. that day, according to the Department of Sanitation.
While the city will handle clearing streets and bike lanes, property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their properties or risk getting a ticket.
If the snow stops falling between:
- 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., property owners must clear sidewalks within 4 hours
- 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., property owners must clear sidewalks within 14 hours
- 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., property owners must clear sidewalks by 11 a.m.
