NOTICE:
The Village of Kinderhook would like to remind residents of the Snow Removal regulations for sidewalks.

Village Code - Section 106-7 states:

  • 106- B - Sidewalks need to be kept free from snow and ice for the full paved width of the sidewalk.

  • 106-C - Snow and ice shall be removed within 24 hours after the snowfall or the snow has been deposited on the sidewalk.

  • 106-D - If the snow and ice on any sidewalk shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk, it shall, within the time specified in 106-C, be strewn and kept strewn with sand, sawdust or other suitable material, so as to be no longer dangerous to life and limb. As soon as practical thereafter, the sidewalk shall be completely cleared of snow, ice and other material strewn thereon.

  • 106-G - Snow shall not be deposited, thrown, placed or strewn on any street, avenue or roadway within the Village.

    Whenever the sidewalk is not cleared the full paved width or snow and ice are not removed within the 24 hour period, the Village shall have the snow and ice removed by a contractor.

Your cooperation is requested. For those of you who are physically unable, absentee landlords or not in residence during the winter, the Village suggests you engage someone to keep your sidewalk free from snow and ice.

  • Glenn Smith is the Building Inspector and Code Enforcement Officer. He is available at the Village Hall every weekday from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM and every Wednesday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at which time he can be reached at 758-9882. After hours, please call his voice mail at 758-8778 x 302.

  • Just a friendly reminder pertaining to the Village of Kinderhook Code on displaying Political signs; Chapter 130-19 section C Paragraph 16 states: "Posters, Temporary, nonpermanent posters covering such things as political events, sporting events, shows, and elections shall not be displayed until four weeks prior to the event and must be removed within five days after the event. No such signs shall be attached to a tree or utility pole."

    Thank you in advance for adhering to the Code and making the Village a beautiful place to be.
