HOA Snow Removal Policy

Please take the time to carefully read this section as it contains important information regarding the HOA’s snow removal policy.      

Snow removal will be performed by Hoagy’s Lawn Care for this winter season.    

Hoagy’s is contracted to remove snow from sidewalks, driveways and walkways to the front door when the snowfall total is greater than 3 inches.     

Any ice accumulation/formation is not treated routinely by Hoagy’s due to the damage to concrete by many ice melt products.      Hoagy’s will start work AFTER West Hanover Township has plowed the streets to avoid obstructing the township’s work and to ensure that the driveways are not plowed shut by the township plows.  

If parked vehicles block snow removal from driveways, then individual homeowners owning those vehicles shall be responsible for clearing snow around those vehicles. Hoagy’s will remove the snow outside a 3 foot distance from all sides of the car(s) and will clear the driveway apron and sidewalk as best they can.      Because Hoagy’s uses a variety of snow removal equipment (shovels, snow blowers, snow tractors) a closer proximity of snow throwing could damage your vehicle and it increases the hourly cost of snow removal to all homeowners. Vehicles parked in the street may be plowed in by the township, owners of these vehicles will be responsible for digging their vehicles out.     

Individual homeowners are responsible for clearing snow accumulation of less than 3 inches. Township ordinances require that snow be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours of the snowfall. Snow is not to be thrown onto the street per West Hanover Township ordinance. Please contract with Hoagy’s or another vendor if you need a more complete and individual snow removal.      Hoagy’s is not contracted to remove snow from rear porches, patios or steps. Remember if you are away when it snows and we receive less than 3 inches, or we get an ice storm, it is still your responsibility to clear your driveway and sidewalk. Please make arrangements for snow or ice removal from your property when a storm is predicted while you are away.      Please check the HOA website for information as to whether Hoagy’s will be notified to clear snow when we have a snow storm.
