Start those shovels!

It is going to snow for a few days . . or so they say, even though it is ground hogs day no matter what the outcome we can plan on a few more snow storms over the next ten weeks or so.

Shovel The city of St. Paul does have an ordinance that requires property owners to remove the snow from the public side walk within 24 hours of a snow fall of an inch or more. That rule even applies to vacant properties even those that are bank owned, and it is enforced but someone has to complain.  The city now has "door hangers" to put on your neighbors doors as a reminder to shovel but they don't work so well for the vacant properties. 

There is an on-line complaint form that is pretty easy to use.  You can find it on the City of St. Paul web site. Please use it.  Trust me when I say the bank isn't going to cut you any slack if you can't make a mortgage payment and we don't need to cut them any slack when it comes to the way they maintain all those homes they own.

Oh and happy ground hogs day.

  1. We’re expecting a little rain here in Phoenix with a highs in the 60’s. Sorry to rub it in.

    I really just wanted to say that I couldn’t agree more with this statement, “Trust me when I say the bank isn’t going to cut you any slack if you can’t make a mortgage payment and we don’t need to cut them any slack when it comes to the way they maintain all those homes they own.” You’ve hit the bull’s eye in my opinion!
