A city housing-plan presentation (2012-16 data) showed about a third of homes single-family, about a fifth two-family, and about a quarter in buildings with more than 20 units; about half of homes predate 1940. Many lots are small and close together, so plow banks pile up quickly.
Parking during storms
Winter parking rules start with the first significant snowfall and run 24/7 until April 1. Park on the odd-numbered side of the street in odd years and the even side in even years (the 2025/2026 season was the odd side), with listed exceptions. When the city declares a Snow Emergency (announced at least four hours ahead), cars on main arteries are towed right away, and the page lists a $25 ticket for a Snow Emergency violation.
Sidewalks
Owners must clear the sidewalk next to their property. The clock starts when snow stops or the city declares the end of snow operations. Buildings with fewer than 5 units have 24 hours; businesses and buildings with 5 or more units have 12 hours. Clear 36 inches (42 preferred). The city flyer lists fines: for fewer than 5 units a warning, then $100, then $150; for commercial or 5+ units $100, $200, then $300.
