http://www.dddilaw.com/ In New York you are responsible for removing the snow from your sidewalk whenever it snows or if there is ice build up. You do not have to shovel the snow while it is still coming down but you do have to remove it if it has been 4 hours or more since it has stopped snowing. The only exception to this rule is if the snow stops falling between the hours of 9pm and 7am. If this is the case you have until 11am to remove the snow. Also, in New York you are required to put salt, sand or ash down on any hard snow that you can't shovel or if it has formed ice on the sidewalk.
