Who is responsible for clearing snow and ice? Let's find out!

      The question of clearing snow and ice may seem confusing, but in fact everything is quite simple. The main thing is to understand whose territory it is.

      Your yard and the sidewalk at your building:

      If you live in an apartment building, the management company (MC) or the homeowners’ association (HOA) is responsible for clearing snow, icicles from roofs and ice on the sidewalks. This is their direct duty.

      City streets and roads:

      Municipal services are responsible for clearing snow on city streets, sidewalks and roads that are not part of adjacent residential territories. They oversee cleanliness, even if they hire contractors to do so.

      Area near a shop or office:

      If it is a private business or organization, their owner is responsible for clearing the snow.

      Municipal roads:

      Local authorities are responsible for roads that belong to the city (municipal roads).

      What to do if the snow in the yard is not being cleared?

      In that case, feel free to contact the Housing Inspection of Tatarstan.
