Under Babylon Village Code ch. 269 § 269-6, property operators are generally expected to inspect and maintain all paved surfaces — steps, walkways, driveways, and parking areas — on a regular basis. Compliant operators typically establish snow and ice removal routines during winter months and address debris accumulation promptly throughout the year. Keeping dated maintenance logs and service records can help document ongoing compliance with this provision.
