As I am a Housing Inspector & Rental Inspector sometimes it is confused w/ Code Enforcement.

I have received many calls today about sidewalks that have yet to be cleared of snow & debris in front of properties that are For Sale or Rent. My response to these calls are there is really nothing I can do expect put word out about the issue. As this response is not good enough for some folks.... and I don't like giving potential clients answers they don't want to hear!!!

So I am putting the word out to eveyone I am networked w/ to Please...... READ.....

If you are selling or renting a property Please, Please don't forget to clear those sidewalks.

Calls I received today are about a house for sale in front of a school zone where crossing guards cross children and their parents.

I am not sure of the liability one would endure if someone were to fall and seriously hurt themselves. As I am sure it wouldn't be one I would want.

Thank you and I hope this finds you all well!

Yours Truly,

In our community, any sidewalk not cleared of snow with 12 hours of a snaowfall is in violation of local ordinances. $50 FINE. I know cause I'v received them in the past. Yikes.

I always make sure my sidewalks in front of my own house are cleared!!!! I even do a few houses up so my neighbors aren't fined either!

Here in Baltimore County Maryland our Code Enforcement Office is really cracking down on people for a lot of things.... so I am in hopes that getting the word out helps people remember so they are not given those hefty fines....
