Sidewalk Snow Removal

On April 29, 2021, City Council voted to amend the existing Peace & Good Order ordinance regarding snow removal (Beverly Municipal Code Chapter 215, § 215- 12 " Placing or depositing snow or ice into streets or sidewalks"). These new provisions include: 

  • No person shall place or deposit any ice or snow on any street or sidewalk, or in such a way as to obstruct the access to or operation of any fire hydrant
  • The owner of any building, structure or lot of land abutting upon any sidewalk including any curb ramp/cut shall be responsible for removing snow six hours after snowfall has ended (if snow occurs during the day) or by 1 pm the following day (if snow occurs during the night)
  • The owner of any building, structure or lot of land abutting upon any sidewalk including any curb ramp/cut shall be responsible for making the sidewalk safe (by removing ice and/or covering with sand) within six hours after sidewalk has become icy
  • Violation of the ordinance is a fine of $25.00. If the violation continues, each subsequent 24-hour period will be considered a separate offence and incur a fine of $25.00

If you see a sidewalk that has not been cleared, you may report the location through the MyBeverly app or by clicking here (Report Uncleared Sidewalk).

If you are physically unable to perform snow and ice removal or are 65 years and older AND due to financial hardship are unable to hire someone, you may fill out an exemption form electronically or by downloading the form here. Signed exemption forms may be sent to askcityhall@beverlyma.gov or dropped off at the Welcome Desk at City Hall in care of Rani Jacobson, Constituent Services Director.
