Commercial Sidewalk Compliance
Under local snow-clearing bylaws, commercial property owners must clear sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends. Fines start at $100 and escalate with repeat violations — but the real cost is slip-and-fall liability on uncleared walks. A single claim can cost $20,000–$50,000 or more.
For property managers handling multiple commercial locations, staying compliant across every property after every snowfall is a logistical challenge. Our seasonal sidewalk contracts guarantee clearing within the bylaw window for all your frontages, with ice treatment and documentation included. One contract, zero compliance headaches.
Dedicated sidewalk crews with commercial-grade equipment clear to bare concrete — meeting both bylaw requirements and customer safety expectations.
Liability Beyond Fines
Bylaw fines are the least of your concerns. An uncleared sidewalk in front of your commercial property creates direct slip-and-fall liability. Without documented proof of regular maintenance, defending against a claim is extremely difficult. The cost of a seasonal sidewalk contract is a fraction of a single liability claim.

How Automatic Dispatch Works
Our dispatch team monitors live weather data around the clock during winter. When snowfall reaches clearing thresholds, crews are deployed automatically — before property managers need to make a single phone call. By the time your business opens the morning after a snowfall, sidewalks are cleared and documented.
For multi-site property management companies, all locations are dispatched simultaneously. You receive a single consolidated service report covering all properties — simplifying your record-keeping and compliance documentation.

Every service is documented with timestamps and photos. Your property stays compliant and you have records to prove it to the City or your insurance provider.
