Snow-removal dispute at 366 North Street stalls after council receives conflicting photos
Summary
A managing member for 368 Middletown LLC disputed a $500 snow-removal fee for 366 North Street, saying tenants shoveled the sidewalk; staff said photos submitted to the council did not show a cleared path and contradicted the claim. No motion was offered and the item died for lack of motion.
A snow-removal enforcement item concerning 366 North Street (listed in the record as 368 Middletown LLC) drew a contested exchange between the property’s managing member and municipal staff but resulted in no council action.
The managing member questioned a $500 snow-removal fee and said tenants on the first floor were contractually responsible for clearing the sidewalk and provided pictures from the property. Staff responded that the photos provided by the managing member did not show a continuous cleared path between properties and said the images contradicted parts of the managing member’s account, noting that a city plow had pushed snow after the tenant had shoveled. The staff comment included: “you could not go from one property from their property into the next property.”
The council received the exchange but no one moved to sustain or waive the fee; the item died for lack of motion and no formal decision was recorded. Council members did not record further follow-up during the meeting.
