Maybe instead of asking the city to inform the landlord on a day like today where they will have more than enough to deal with, a good neighbor could go an assist the elderly in the house and shovel for them to ensure theybare safe. We all understand that as we get older we are not able to do the things we used to, or should do them. We rely on the community to assist us in some cases, like today. If I were the neighbor I would assist by shoveling. I do it now with my current neighbor as I know she is not able to do it herself.

Be a good neighbor.

Someone is already prepared to assist; they will be going by closer to the end of the storm. But ultimately it is the LANDLORD'S responsibility so it would be great if they could be informed or issued a warning as sometimes this is the only way to get a landlord to own up to what is their responsibility. And not ALL neighbors are as helpful as you claim to be. I'm a woman with medical issues and live in a neighborhood with plenty of able bodied men; none of them have ever offered to assist me with my shoveling. I always do it myself and I'm not always able to assist someone else. Please don't presume to know someone else's situation. The City stated on their website that they were going to take these types of issues more seriously so I'm asking for their assistance.

KKKKK

CHIVALRY IS DEAD.....

I am aware that the city states they are going to take issues like this more serious. The proof is in the pudding though. The city states all tge time they are going to assist the citizens and make Malden a better place to live. I haven't seen a thing they've done to keep the long time residence in Malden. They signed an agreement to have peddle bikes randomly placed around the city that are tacky and makes the city look like trash. They moved out of city hall and now a developer is making high rise condos there all while city hall offices are in numerous other buildings instead of 1 central location. They said they'd promote small businesses and growth but when numerous people have applied for land changes or petitioned to open a small business that would create jobs, the city denied them that opportunity so they moved the business elsewhere and that city welcomed them with open arms. So don't get too excited about the city sending a letter to a landlord informing them that they are required to shovel. They don't do anything about neighbors who let their dogs crap on your property or sidewalk in front of your house, why would they do that?

And I have a 100 y/o neighbor who cannot shovel her own walkway and her daughter cannot do it all alone as she is older as well. Myself and my daughter assist when we can or give her son a hand when he comes by. I teach my daughter to be kind to all our neighbors and if you can help then you do. That's a community.

I didn't know the old city hall was being turned into condos. Really....we need more people and cars in this city like we need more snow and cold weather today. I, along with several other people i know, filled out a survey asking how we think Malden can be improved. One of the highly suggested answers to that question was.....no more condos and high rises....why do they bother to ask if they don't listen. Fed up!!!!!

Snow Ordinance enforcement does not start until 24 hours after snow plowing operations cease. Weather conditions can delay the enforcement operations as well.

Plowing operations ceased Friday, January 5, 2018 at 5AM.
