According to the Town of Babylon Town Code 191-1, Keeping Sidewalks Clear, every owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or anyone in charge of any property within the Town shall remove snow, ice, dirt or any other object or material from any improved sidewalk between the property line and the curb line within four (4) hours after snow has ceased to fall or after the deposit of any dirt, object or other material placed upon a sidewalk, unless it falls between the hours of 9:00 pm and 7:00 am.
In the event that the snow or ice on the sidewalk is frozen and unable to be removed, the person in charge of that property shall place either ashes, sand, sawdust or similar-like material on the frozen sidewalk. Furthermore, as soon as the weather permits, that said owner shall thoroughly clean the sidewalk of that additional debris.
The owner or person responsible for the sidewalk is also liable for any personal injury and property damage as a result of the failure to remove any snow, ice, dirt or any other object/material from the sidewalk.
