§ 42-2. Snow removal on alleyways.

Snow removal shall be the responsibility of the owners of the property that abuts the alley. The snow shall be removed from alleys within 24 hours after a snowfall of two inches or more has ended. In the event of noncompliance, the property owners will be given notice that the city will remove the snow 24 hours after the date of notice. If the property owner fails to bring the property into compliance by the end of the 24-hour period, the unplowed alley may be deemed a public nuisance and the city may remove the snow and bill benefited owners for the reasonable value of such service. If the property owners fail to pay for these services within 30 days, the city may proceed to levy a special assessment (cost plus interest) against the improved property pursuant to Minn. Stats. § 429.101.
