Thank you for your concern. Per ordinance section 323-21, the Department of General Services will inspect the property 24-hours after the end of the snowfall. If the property is found to be in violation the Department of General Services will correct the violation and impose a fine.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the Department of General Services at (518) 434-2489.

It’s been 48 hours since the end of the storm. The sidewalk hasn’t been cleared.

This request has been completed.

This request was NOT completed by DGS..... The only reason the sidewalk is clear now, is due to the warmer temperatures. Excellent strategy by the City of Albany to allow the sidewalk to remain snowy and icy during sub-zero temperatures, and to "wait it out" until it warms up to allow Mother Nature to clear the sidewalks. (one week later) It's a shame the Edgecomb St residents have to not only deal with the hideous eyesore this abandoned (burned from a June 2017 fire) property has become, but to have to deal with the property not being maintained during a storm.....extremely frustrating...

Thank you for your concern, this issue has been received by our department and is under review.

Due to warmer weather conditions there is no longer snow or ice at this location therefore this request has been closed. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Department of General Services at (518) 434-2489. Thank you.

@Concerned Neighbor 518 We do our best to get to as many requests as possible. Unfortunately, due to the number of requests we receive for snow and ice removal we cannot always get to every request before the snow and ice melts.
