Homeowner and Landlord Responsibilities

Homeowners and landlords are responsible for maintaining anything inside their home. The City’s operational departments support the infrastructure outside of residents’ homes like their roads, the right-of-way, and sewers. Learn about what items are homeowner and landlord responsibilities.

Pipes, Plumbing, and Sewer

If you’re a homeowner or landlord, you’re responsible for maintaining the pipes inside your home. You will need to hire a plumber to clear blockages for your home (or for your tenants).

What Do I Do About Snow?

When it snows, we clear the streets. Homeowners and landlords are responsible for clearing the snow off the sidewalk in front their home.
