Snow plowing for commercial properties

[Chris Braudis Jr]

What is a reasonable snow removal policy for a mixed use commercial property? It includes apartments and a single commercial tenant.

Our policy is to plow once snow accumulated 3 inches and re plow once it reaches again 3 inches until storm is complete. This also includes shoveling walk ways and sanding each time as well.

It check local town law, it differs a lot in every state to my knowledge. Being in Mass, Boston has something thats within 3 hours of storm stoppage I believe, or 3 hours from sunrise. I would follow that standard and just communicate with the tenants that you may want to do that. Obviously if you are plowing and want to keep up with it, I think your policy is great. I typically wont sand / salt until the end of the storm or if there is an actual active slip hazard. I also leave Salt / Sand / Shovels at every egress. 

I dig some digging into Ma Law, but couldnt find anything concrete other than towns can have their own. Here is a link to Boston's, which essentially is what I try and follow. https://www.boston.gov/departments/311/rules-clearing-snow
