Snow and ice can pose a significant danger to pedestrians navigating New York City’s streets and sidewalks. As with other types of “premises liability” lawsuits, property owners may be responsible for snow/ice-related injuries occurring on their property.
In New York City, Section 16-123 of the New York City Administrative Code dictates when landlords and owners (among others) must remove snow, ice and dirt from sidewalks abutting their properties.
