Please keep all sidewalks clear of snow and ice

Please keep all sidewalks clear of snow and ice. 

We would like to remind our commercial and residential owners of property in the Town that is the owner’s responsibility to make sure all sidewalks adjacent to their property are free from obstructions. We have many residents that rely on safe passage along sidewalks. In addition to being a good neighbor, sidewalk maintenance is the law in Clay. Section 197 of the Clay Town Code dictates “The owner or occupant of lands fronting or abutting on any street in the Town of Clay shall maintain and repair the sidewalks adjoining said lands and keep the sidewalk free from obstruction, including snow and ice. Such owner or occupant shall be liable for any injury or damage by reason of omission, failure or negligence to maintain or repair such sidewalks or to keep them free of obstructions, including snow and ice.” 

Thank you from the Town of Clay
