Sidewalks in any city are public property and up to the City to repair them. However, during winter it is usually up to the store owner to keep the sidewalk to the front of their store clean of ice and snow. In New York City, it is the obligation of the property owner abutting the sidewalk to install, maintain and repair the sidewalk. This is true for all property owners expect railroads and cemeteries. The first are excluded from this law by the Railroad Law, and the second by the real estate Law. The Department of Transportation will inspect a sidewalk anywhere within the five boroughs and issue a "Notice of Violation" [NOV] if there is a fault in the sidewalk. If the sidewalk is adjacent to a one- to three-family house, the City's Department of Transportation contractor wil repair the sidewalk and charge the property owner by adding the cost of the repairs to the property owner's tax bill. For more than four-family residences or commercial properties, while the department of Transportation will issue the NOV, but repairs are the duty of the property owner. This information stems from the NYC Administrative Code, Section 7-210. If a sidewalk "flag" has been lifted by a tree, the Department of Parks and Recreation has a program that will repair that flag free of charge. Property owners with such a problem should call the city's information number: 3-1-1 and tell the operator that a tree has lifted the flag in question.

What is the Difference between private trust and public trust?
In the sense of ownership of real property in fee: Public property is state, federal or community owned property that is not restricted to any one individual's use or possession. Think of parks, schools, athletic fields, bike paths, playgrounds, city squares, public libraries & museums, municipal parking garages, courthouses, city halls, etc. Private property is protected from public appropriation. The owner has exclusive control and absolute rights in the property. They may convey it or leave it to their heirs. Private property is all property that is not public and can be owned by trusts, individuals, corporations, railroads, private hospitals, churches, non-profit corporations, etc. In another sense: Property used by the public although privately owned is subject to regulations and laws promulgated to protect public health. This category includes restaurants, stores, indoor athletic facilities, convenience stores, shopping malls, gas stations, private nursing homes, hotels, etc. Smoking bans are a good example of the government's control over private property that is used by the public.

Is the sidewalk private or public property?
It depends on where the sidewalk is. A sidewalk situated on private property, such as the entry way to a commercial building or church, is private property.Sidewalks along the street are treated differently. Although the landowner may own the land up to the center line of the street, generally, the town has taken easement rights that create rights in the public to use the street and sidewalk for all purposes of a public way. In that case, although the sidewalk is on private property the public has the right to use it for passage.

Some parks are located on private property and some are public property. It would depend on the owner of the park. A homeowners association for instance can own a park within their subdivision.

If you own land that is a public right of way and you clear it of snowif someone slips on it after that will you be liableor is it best to leave it aloneand dangerous?
There is not quite enough information included in order to answer this question. For instance - take sidewalks fo example: Sidewalks passing over your property are "public rights-of-way" and in every community I am aware of, it is the responsibility of the owner, or resident of the property to keep them passable. If you do not, and someone injures themselves, you would be liable not the city. If the property owner clears the sidewalk and THEN someone injures themselves, they are simply negligent for not exercising due caution when walking on unsure footing.
