I live in Mt. Greenwood. Wednesday I was off and my neighbor and I were using snowblowers to clear our sidewalks and in front of our houses and some of our neighbors. No biggie, just making parking and all that shit.
Then I saw an SUV with two revenue women in it, driving slowly down the street. I don't know what they were looking for, but in these times I don't doubt the possibility they'd hang bullshit tickets for not clearing snow.
RICHARD M. DALEY IS MY TYPE OF GUY.
Daley guaranteed, to the media, that there would be no enforcement of the shoveling ordinance.
More lies. Surprise.
If you were so concerned, and he is a good friend, why didn't you shovel the sidewalk for him? Asshole!
Some watchdog guy commented today that the silly Daley one-parking-ticket-given-within-five-minutes-of-the-meter-expiring amnesty is no amnesty at all.
It expires in fourteen months. Any idea what happens in twelve months, folks? The mayoral election. The mayor is a skunk; he stinks.
A big "F*** You" to the original poster of that comment! We work and pay taxes in Pilsen asshole.
Does this mean I can go home while on duty to shovel the snow so I don’t get a ticket?
Do I need an event number with it?
What if my house is not in the D.O.C.?
Do I get credit for shoveling on my performance evaluation?
If I write the tickets for not shoveling does that count on my performance evaluation?
If I pay the kid down the block to shovel, who gets “the kick-back”?
Do I have to use a shovel or a snow blower supplied by a company owned by someone named “Daley”, or will any “Lil Dick” do?
Tough questions….
(P.S.: To the O/P... Post the inspectors name! Someone here has got to know where he lives, possibly pay him back the favor!)
Go on the medical for three days . Get your money back from those bitches.
There's no way this can be true.
If so, i would take this to the media. That is truly ridiculous.
if someone slips and falls on your walkway.... you are NOT covered under your homeowners insurance policy if you shoveled... they look at it as tampering with natural causes....
Hey 55th & Kostner !
I live in Pilsen, pay taxes & pay to have my snow shoveled. You aren't so special, you asshole !
Pilsen is on the way to gentrification. the folks you tried to avoid are moving your way ! Enjoy !!

Snow and Ice Removal
The City Code addressing property owners/tenants responsibilities is listed below.
10-8-180 Snow and Ice Removal.
Every owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or other person having charge of any building or lot of ground in the city abutting upon any public way or public place shall remove the snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of such building or lot of ground.
If the sidewalk is of greater than five feet, it shall not be necessary for such person to remove snow and ice from the same for a space wider than five feet.
In case the snow and ice on the sidewalk shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the pavement, the person having charge of any building or lot of ground as aforesaid shall, within the time specified, cause the sidewalk abutting on the said premises to be strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust, or some similar suitable material, and shall, as soon thereafter as the weather shall permit, thoroughly clean said sidewalk.
The snow which falls or accumulates during the day (excepting Sundays) before four p.m. shall be removed within three hours after the same has fallen or accumulated. The snow which falls or accumulates on Sunday or after four p.m. and during the night on other days shall be removed before ten a.m.
10-8-190 Liability for civil damages.
Any person who removes snow or ice from the public sidewalk or street, shall not, as a result of his acts or omissions in such removal, be liable for civil damages. This section does not apply to acts or omissions amounting to willful or wanton misconduct in such snow or ice removal.
Gee, how many of these snow tickets were issued on the West and the Southside?
Keep bleeding the poor, working middle class you rotten prick.
DUMP DALEY in 2011!
Hey SCC I'm an illiterate moron douchebag! WTF!
This just make me want to run the snow blower at 2 AM and be a good neighbor.
Seriously a $250 ticket, I'll take my chances with the misdemeanor disturbing the peace.
A draconian law fit for the ignorant masses and the coffers of a DicKtator.
Boy, there are block-long vacant lots, unused buildings, etc. all over town with the owner's/seller's/"developer's" numbers all over them on big signs, and the sidewalks out front are like Antarctica.
Send a few cars out everyday and write, write, write so we can buy Rio the fleet of new ambulances they'll need in 2016. "Sister city" or something...
so does this ordinance also cover side streets and city of chicago police facilities--- looks like a lot of anovs will be handed out to snowplow drivers and alderman for not clearing the snow in a timely manner in their ward.....
I bet if you start writing ANOV's to the house of the neighborhood drug dealer mama will throw a fit. May even get a response from the storefront playreverand.
Let's see those Revenuers walk down Kostner Avenue in the 10th or 11th Districts and write those tickets. There would be a few less Revenuers. Also isn't there something about equal protection under the law that says laws must be enforced equally.
What a joke! The city is getting on my damn nerves.
Well, no inspector was driving down the street looking for unshoveled snow. Some rat neighbor probably burned up the phone line to the alderman's office. I wonder who writes the citations for all that property that is owned by the city that never gets shoveled?
Doesn't this contradict what Insurance Companies reflect as you being held liable if someone gets hurt on your property after you have shoveled? You are not held accountable if it is an act of God, meaning snow fell, but if you tried to shovel it, ice formed or it just gets slick again as snow is blown or new snow has fallen, it is your fault!
Also, what if it snows all day as it did 2 days ago? Do you stay home from work and shovel all day?
Don't people have jobs? How can you remove snow in 3 hours if it occurs before 4? Since we are city workers, can we ask to be released early to follow the ordinance?
I am sure we can find a hell of a lot more things for the Inspectors to review that do not incude bullshit as this. Tax payer dollars gone down the tubes. Instead of looking into CPD's budget, start looking into some units that work right where you work Mayor Daley.
fuck, the city and byrne should be fined millions according to this!
Why doesn't the alderman get the gangbanger kids in the neighborhood to start shoveling walks for the seniors like the Catholic schools do?
Or go to the shit neighborhoods and start ticketing? If I recall correctly, I remember a corpse being found after snow melted on a front porch over east years back. Think they shovel their snow?
This is so obvious they are jamming up people who work, pay taxes and take care of their business. Fucking assholes, all of them. From Daley on down.
Someone needs to call the media and hold up that ticket to the camera and get the word out there. That the City is sticking it to working people. If the shitheads can get front and center with their do-rags on and their hibbity jibbity about my son is an honor student, normal people can complain about something valid.
I live in "Garcia Ridge" and was threatened with a ticket by the ward superintendent for failing to rake leaves in a timely manner. I have six trees on the city property and when the leaves start to fall, I can't keep up with the deluge. Also, I've seen Revenue walking in the neighborhood writing tickets for trivial stuff like obstructing the sidewalk while parked in the driveway, parked facing the wrong side of the street. You're right, they only do it in "safe" taxpaying wards. The ghetto is spared.
How about we put the mutts at the jail on a chain gang and have them shovel snow. They are doing it in Virginia because they needed the manpower to keep up with the amount of snow they have. Since we as taxpayers are paying for their room and board, why don't we keep them busy. And when the snow melts they can clean up the garbage in the neighborhoods.They could have 3 shifts at the jail. Work, Rest and recreation. Rotate them in and out....no overcrowding....no early release. Idle hands are the devils workshop, right?...I'm just sayin
This is truly some Daley garbage!
Another reason for Mayor Daley and his minions NEED to go to the unemployment line!
What if the property owner who works and pays high taxes was at work and doesn't get home until 6 p.m. to shovel the snow?! Small property owners {i.e. joe blow citizen} can't afford snow removal services!
The City don't even shovel or plow the fucking alleys so that you can get you car out of the damn garage! This is some bullshit!
I would NOT pay the ticket!
I would tell the inspector to stick up his ass!
Wasn't something like this just in the paper within the last couple months?
If this guy was anywhere on the WestSide or Southside of town in da hood.
He would absolutely get a cap in his ass! Then the Detectives would be suspending the shooting because the idiot should have never been there to begin with!
Can I get an event number squad?!
I thought the city owns the sidewalks. Since when do I have to accomodate the city and remove the snow? I do it as a good homeowner and to be considerate to my mailman, bwtf? This POS we call our mayor is nuts. I wonder who's shovelling Burke's sidewalks? Oh, silly me- he has body guards to do that, or butler's. Or whatever...
shortshanks made a statement awhile back that the city wasn't going to enforce the ordinance...
O.T.
Is there anyone that lives on the NW or SW side or any part of the city that has been or is being targeted by the DOR ?
Does anyone have any legal expertise to go after the city for these bullshit redlining tactics?
An earlier post said that their mother's house was ticketed for failing to shovel.
Are you kidding me? NOBODY in the ghetto shovels their sidewalks. Their are countless city ordinance violations that are ignored.
Let's cut the bullshit. The reason the DOR targets the NW and SW side is that they know the fines will be paid and not ignored and uncollected like in other areas. This kind of targeting of certain areas cannot be legal.
Is their an attorney out there willing to look into this and take up the cause. I would be more than happy to contribute to any type of class action suit.
Enough is enough! The city had to stop fucking with the law abiding citizen who can pay his bills.
Its actually $50 and someone is full of shit. If you dont want to pay it Richie Rich specifically stated the following:
Violators of the city ordinance can face a $50 fine. Although Mayor Richard M. Daley said people should clear their sidewalks of snow, he said the city won't enforce the ordinance.
Here's the link to the story from channel 2 news if you still don't believe:
http://cbs2chicago.com/local/snow.
shoveling.ordinance.
2.1412071.html
Sure, why not? This city should be full of little old ladies who are unable to shovel. We can make a load of money from them! Oh, maybe we can hit a few people that just had surgery, or are handicapped! To hell with compassion, this city needs money!
My neighbor got a "warning" even though he is 88 years old about his snow,so i shoveled for him which I do anyway but had to wait until after work! This city is on a feeding frenzy with working people who pay their bills! Try that shit in englewood,or pilsen see if the illegals will shovel LOL! Then we have the DOR writing tickets for anything and everything on the west end of 008 and in 016! Hello ZALEWSKI hello north side aldermen can you please man up and stop this theft from taxpayers?
Hey SCC I'm an illiterate moron douchebag! WTF!
We're truly sorry to hear that. Maybe you can run for aldercreature?

so, writing paper is now NOT enforcement?
I agree. . . hit the medical. . . FTMF'ers.
Or better yet, swerve to avoid hitting that kid who ran into the street after the ball and put your Dept. vehicle into a utility pole.
I can feel my back hurting me already. ..
Yep lets see that shit in the section 8 dependent neighborhoods. Of course you will not see it, they all vote for the Dumbo-crates.

Shit its true more taking from the taxpayers?
WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE WORKING? TELL YOUR BOSS YOU HAVE TO DRIVE OR TAKE A BUS HOME TO SHOVEL OR RISK GETTING A TICKET FROM THE CITY?
HA!! MY BOSS WOULD TELL ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY JOB AND A TICKET.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE HEART PROBLEMS AND CAN'T SHOVEL. IS THIS FOR REAL? WHO IS THE JERK THAT CAME UP WITH THIS. GET REAL!!!!

___________________________________
The city used to have plows on the garbage trucks to plow the alley. You know what happened? Property owners whined that the plows pushed snow in front of their garages.
Now they no longer plow the alleys. Do you see how that works?
2/12/2010 at 840AM told the right story States the fine is $50,00 and Da Mayor isnt enforcing it. Maybe someone should inform him that his department is writing the tickets after he said it wont happen. Bet then it woulsd stop in a heartbeat, especially if they shoulded and older or sick person shoveling the snow
My commute via public transit is 4 1/2 hours per day on top of my 8 1/2 hour work day. Guess I'm going to get tickets over here..
If you were so concerned, and he is a good friend, why didn't you shovel the sidewalk for him? Asshole!
----------------------------------
So by your reasoning, if I don't shovel my entire street, and the city fines one of my neighbors with this bullshit ticket, then I'm the asshole?!! Go fuck yourself you worthless piece Daley's shit.
Maybe I should give the city a ticket for not clearing my cul- de-sac. EVER! With this last storm and the blowing snow, I still have about a foot of snow in the cul-de-sac. I would be confident in the knowledge that when the snow melts it will easily drain into the sewer system, but a year ago when they came to fix the collapsing drain, they did such a piss poor job that it has collapsed only a year later. Great job. But my walk is clear!
How come the city cannot remove the snow from the sidestreets within 3 hours? Now, I actually feel good for shoveling the snow from my sidewalk into the middle of the street.
Yeah i heard they nailed the 100 blk of latrobe too....
My ass.
Just go shovel the fucking snow. If you're fit enough to do it, shovel the neighbor's too. What's the big deal? If you are worried about shut-ins, etc., shovel their sidewalks too.
As for what they do in the ghetto . . . whatever. There are a lot of things that happen in the ghetto I don't do. Leaving snow on the sidewalks and stairs is one of them.
Third, as for the liability, your insurance company only matters if there is a legal claim against you. If there cannot be a legal claim, per ordinance, your insurance company doesn't care. No conflict.
Finally, this law is much older than Daley. Since they don't even mention salt as an option for when the sidewalk is frozen, my guess is that the law is from way back, like the 1800s or early 1900s. Snow has been falling here at least that long.
I call BS on this! If it were true we would hear about it more often. If true alert the media.
10-8-180 Snow and Ice Removal.
Every owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or other person having charge of any building or lot of ground in the city abutting upon any public way or public place shall remove the snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of such building or lot of ground.
*********
Seems to conflict with;
Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865. History
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
AWESOME! Hey, boss... listen, I know that i"ve ony been on duty 3 hours, but, I gotta go home and shove... cya at checkoff!
Revenue Dept all over white neighborhoods of Mt. Greenwood- Beverly, but I never see em anywher in the Minority (now the Majority) Communities. Keep voting Democrat, you fuckin Fools.
Bealzibub Says: That Daley, he's my kind of Guy....
In respose to 0715 am I wish they would write more tickets in Garcia Ridge to the ignorant POS who block the sidewalks/park facing the wrong way,loud car radios etc. Some people need a little wake up call to change their I don't give a shit attitude !!!
Go on the medical for three days . Get your money back from those bitches.
That's right then when they take our 365 sick days away and give us two weeks like a lot of other departments you'll be the first one bitching. Pay the fine I's sure mama left plenty insurance to pay for it.
A big "F*** You" to the original poster of that comment! We work and pay taxes in Pilsen asshole.
2/12/2010 12:26:00 AM
Why even bother with ignorant people like that, this will never change.
If the snow has to be removed within three hours of falling, how does Shortshanks get away with not plowing the side streets for a day or two after a snowfall?
Reason for an acquittal?
Just asking...
those revenue girls were not giving tickets butt-hole,, you just assumed they were.. QUIT getting on revenue people, they work hard, and are subjected to more bull-shit than you think..they more than likely were booters, just doing a dangerous job not to many people could handle, give revenue people a break, they got a shit-head boss just like the rest of us have

I didn't know neighborhoods had racial designations to them. Living in what you might describe as a "Minority Non-White Neighborhood", rest assured that the DOR makes frequent visits, boots in tow and ticket books in hand. Since you feel like you're paying all the tickets anyway, can I forward some to you from the "darker" neighborhoods? Asshat.
If you were so concerned, and he is a good friend, why didn't you shovel the sidewalk for him? Asshole!
2/12/2010 12:22:00 AM
Maybe he was at work during that three hour period. Asshole.
Since the city no longer has bulk garbage pick up, my neighbor put some old flooring out in the alley for the regular garbage pickup.
Well, lo and behold, they were ticketed by the city for
"excessive garbage."
Pilsen is on the way to gentrification. the folks you tried to avoid are moving your way ! Enjoy !!
2/12/2010 01:25:00 AM
What I enjoy about Pilsen is writing up all you fucking uppies who moved there. Your not up north uppie scum. Your on the south side.
my neighbors and I spent two days clearing snow, only to have a city snow plow come down our street and push all the snow from the street onto the cleared sidewalk. I dare revenue to ticket me.
My elderly neighbor died in oct I was outside clearing my snow on tuesday when it was snowing an inch an hour and some dip shit was out front getting ready to write a citation for snow removal. I used my snow blower and cleared her sidewalk real quick but you know that mf probably wrote it and mailed it to her.
dont blame revenue people,, they dont write tickets, for fucking sidewalks now being cleared,, this has to be some copper that dosent what to do his job,,, we at revenue have better thing to cite than sidewalks... we're doing their jobs on the street voilations that they wont do,, whens the last time u saw a blue and white write a non moving ticket if he was'nt called to do so.we at revenue are picking up your slack when your having your fucking donut,,, revenue is tired of the bull-shit,, just remember we got the same boss,, sorry about j-fed,, we got our cross to carry too!!!
Since the city is in a cash-flow hell and on a ticket blitz, I guess this means that they will finally start to crack down on the unlicensed push cart food vendors. Like on S. Pulaski from 31st to 26th St. Every corner, sometimes 2 or 3 on a corner. How about Piotrowski Park? Drove by once last summer and counted 10!
Licensees? Vee don neeed no steeeenkin licenseees!!!
dont blame revenue people,, they dont write tickets, for fucking sidewalks now being cleared,, this has to be some copper that dosent what to do his job,,, we at revenue have better thing to cite than sidewalks... we're doing their jobs on the street voilations that they wont do,, whens the last time u saw a blue and white write a non moving ticket if he was'nt called to do so.we at revenue are picking up your slack when your having your fucking donut,,, revenue is tired of the bull-shit,, just remember we got the same boss,, sorry about j-fed,, we got our cross to carry too!!!
-----------------------------
So you're saying that on the one hand coppers won't write tickets and on the other they must not be doing their job by supposedly writing a ticket. Which one is it? Furthermore coppers have better things to do than write BS tickets. How are you picking up our slack by writing tickets? That's all you do. If you didn't have tickets to write you wouldn't have a job.

Does Revenue employees get CR's for doing their job no, get suspended for doing their jobs no. Did you take a test for your job at Revenue no and a vast majority of your fellow Revenue workers paid or performed political work for your jobs for some politician that tells his constituents to beef on the Police if they do not like the actions of the Police.
Hey 55th & Kostner !
I live in Pilsen, pay taxes & pay to have my snow shoveled. You aren't so special, you asshole !
Pilsen is on the way to gentrification. the folks you tried to avoid are moving your way ! Enjoy !!
No its not. Just a younger crowd renting apartments. Pilsen is the same. Im not saying its bad or anything but i dont see a change. There not really buying houses there.

Oh shut the hell up you lap dogs of a sociopathic, megolamaniacal schizoid. At least police serves a purpose. If Dumb Mayor wanted to generate revenue, he'd cut you hacks and farm out your work to civilians, which is what he's gonna do. You political hacks are nothing but the butt licking lackeys of a soon to be ex mayor.
BTW, what tests did you take for your job? Pick the right church? what kind of background exam you take, a financial check to see if you paid off a politico?
Don't build yourselves up. Monkeys can do your job.
Let me catch one of you " revenooers" violating the law... I WILL do my job, and you won't like it!
