Your issue has been reported to the Code Enforcement Officers. An update will follow shortly.

Is there a code enforcement officer?

One week later.....still there.

Thank you for alerting us of the situation, this report will be forwarded to the appropriate division.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We need some more information to address the problem. Have you witness this happen only one time? Is it a reoccurring issue? Is there a certain time or day during the week that this happens? Thank you.

There is a 3-4 foot tall pile of snow in the middle of the sidewalk. It has been there for a week. This should be enough information. No I have no idea as to when or how often this happens. It has only snowed once this year it is a safety issue regardless of what day of the week it happened on.

This is a police matter. Trying to get the HPD to respond ! N o luck so far

Holyoke Policeman said not a big deal. "The other side is clear you can walk on other side of the street". I asked him where he lived he said Chicopee. This is the problem with this city, no one cares.

So the Mayor's Office sends it to DPW who sends it to Police? Who's job is this? Who enforces codes and fines people for not shoveling? Does anyone know? The Policeman who lives in Chicopee really doesn't care. His kids don't have to walk on the sidewalk.

This IS a police issue DPW is a clearing house for issues

For goodness sake. Our city has a snow/ice removal ordinance: http://www.holyoke.org/sidewalk-snow-and-ice-removal/ 'That Guy' is asking for enforcement of an ordinance that is about as black and white as it gets. What is the breakdown here? Who is responsible for enforcement of this ordinance?

It;s suppose to be 50 degrees Sunday, should help

Sounds like "That Guy" has a few more issues than snow removal.

Old Holyoker did you really open an account just to say that? You may have a few more issues than me if that is the case. Trolling comments on SeeClickFix is pretty lame.

Monday 4:30pm Sidewalk still not walkable. No change

It's back
