Snow Shoveling Request

MHNA needs your help in insuring that our sidewalks are safe places to walk this winter season. Dangerous conditions with falls have resulted from sidewalks not being cleared of snow in a timely manner.

City ordinance requires that snow be removed within 24 hrs. after a snow fall.

Please report unsafe conditions to the Milwaukee Department of Public Works. After the City inspects and finds the property in violation, fines are $25 for the first notice, $45 for the second notice and $90 for subsequent violations.  If the sidewalks still are not clear within another 24 hours, a Sanitation crew will clear a path and the charge will appear on the property tax bill.

To report unsafe sidewalks, call the City at 414-286-City (2489) indicating the address.  You can also complete an online service request at city.milwaukee.gov/ -choose“Request Services On Line” at the bottom of the left scroll column, then choose“Snow and Ice” and then ”Sidewalks Not Shoveled”. You can easily complete the form and have the choice of providing your name or remaining anonymous.  The city will not release your name.

Thanks for your help in keeping the neighborhood a safe place for all.
