Who is responsible for snow removal in housing companies?

What Is the Maintenance Company Responsible For?
The maintenance company is in charge of maintaining and upkeeping access areas of the property as well as the surrounding streets. Courtyards are plowed whenever the snow depth reaches at least 5 cm. The company also removes snow and ice from the roof. Toward the end of winter, when compacted snow builds up on walkways, the maintenance company is responsible for clearing it away.

What Is the Resident Responsible For?
Residents are responsible for snow removal around their parking spaces and keeping them accessible. They are also expected to clean their own terrace, yard, and balcony. Regular snow removal helps prevent slipping hazards and protects building structures from damage. Snow shovels are available to borrow from the property's outdoor or storage rooms. If any are missing or broken, please contact our customer service.

Noticed Any Issues?
Residents play an important role in maintaining safety in the housing area during winter months. If you notice a hazardous situation—such as excessive snow accumulation, slippery surfaces, or a falling risk—act quickly to prevent accidents. Sanding containers are available in the yard for traction improvement. For more serious issues, like dangerous icicles or large snowdrifts, notify the maintenance company immediately. Working together helps keep shared areas safe for everyone.
