Full Notification

The City of Hoboken and the Hoboken Office of Emergency Management (OEM) are monitoring forecasts which predict winter weather for our area, starting Saturday, Jan. 6 at 6 p.m. thorough Sunday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. Snow of up to 2 inches and rain is possible. 

Residents are encouraged to limit travel during the storm.

Keep Sidewalks and Curb Ramps Clear 

While the City’s Department of Environmental Services will salt and plow streets, if necessary, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have six (6) hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts. 

Residents are urged to assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow from their properties.

It is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.   

The City performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements. While the majority of property owners comply with the safety regulations, the City will issue fines to those who do not keep sidewalks clear.    

To report an unshoveled sidewalk, please email [email protected].
