Keene Housing Staff will handle snow removal for: Stone Arch Village, Harper Acres, Riverbend, Evergreen, and 218-228 Winchester Street.

Keene Housing’s Responsibilities:

  • Maintenance/Contractors will plow the parking lots, common areas and the common sidewalks at the end of the snowfall. Generally, you will not have to move your cars before 7 A.M. or after 7 P.M.
  • We will clear down to the pavement as soon as possible after a storm. Until that happens you must pay attention and move your car when the plow(s) arrive, so the lots can be completely
    cleared.
  • At most properties when the plow enters the lot the driver will blow the horn. They will NOT knock-on doors.
  • We first plow ONLY those areas where NO CARS ARE PARKED. Your vehicle must be moved during plowing to ensure your parking area is open and ready for plowing.
  • We will not plow or shovel between or next to cars, and we cannot clear off or move your vehicle(s) for you.
  • Maintenance staff will shovel snow and spread salt ONLY on common sidewalks.
  • Maintenance staff or contractors will salt and shovel the walkways for all handicapped/ADA units and those with a Reasonable Accommodation only.
  • PLEASE do not pull the nose of your car up over the sidewalks, the sidewalk machine cannot get all the snow off if you do.

Tenants’ Responsibilities:

  • Keene Housing parking permits are required on all vehicles.  Vehicles with or without permits that are not moved while the plow is on the property or in any way interfere with plowing will be towed without notice by Emerson’s Towing (603-357-1028) at the owner’s expense.
  • You are expected to be aware of the weather and be prepared for storms. This includes having a snow shovel available. You are responsible to shovel snow and salt your own sidewalks.
  • It is your responsibility to move your vehicle(s) immediately when the plow operator arrives on the property for final clean up. If you are unable to meet this responsibility (such as you
    are on vacation, out of town, in the hospital, sick) you must make other arrangements (ask a neighbor, friend or relative to clean off and move your car).
  • In Keene, sand is available at no charge (lot in front of City Public Works 350 Marlboro Street. You must bring your own container). Keene Housing places salt buckets around the common spaces (FAC or Community rooms, mailbox areas, handicapped walks, bus stops) on all properties for resident use.

Cooperation among residents to get cars moved is appreciated. Keene Housing and our contractors will plow spaces when every car is moved out of the lot (remember, do not move
until we are doing final clean up between 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. – not before then).

Residents of the following properties, except for handicapped/ADA units, are responsible for clearing their entry walks/steps and back doors: Forest View, North and Gilsum, the Brookbends, Stone Arch Family, 309 Water St., Damon Court, West St., Meadow Road, Riverbend, Evergreen Knoll, Roxbury Court, Cottage St., Winchester St., Elm St., Pine St., Dover St., Marlborough St., School St., Bassett Ct., and McKinley Circle.
