A longtime NEWF reader asks about snow shoveling responsibilities in areas that are not in front of specific properties, nor in public parks or plazas. A perect example in the North End / Waterfront is the stretch on Atlantic Ave. between Lewis Wharf and the Sail Loft / Commercial Wharf.
This had been nagging me, literally, for years. This sidewalk is a no man’s land. It is never shoveled, ever. How can I find out who is responsible for clearing the sidewalk at this location?
A great place to start is always the Mayor’s Hotline. Be sure to get a ticket # from them, and follow-up with them if you don’t hear back after a week or so. You can call, but sometimes better to start with your picture via their iphone app. http://www.cityofboston.gov/mayor/24/
I agree, it is dangerous, I will call hotline.
I agree. This area hasn’t been shoveled for years, and it’s extremely dangerous when it turns to ice as it often does.
Half is responsibility of One Lewis Wharf — the Cargill law firm. (I checked their deed). The balance by Commercial Wharf Condo and NOT the Sail Loft piece which is carved out from the Condo.
