If your neighbor didn’t clean his sidewalk by 11 a.m. Monday, he can be fined up to $350.

If you’re as angry as this Park Slope resident at neighbors and local businesses whose adjacent sidewalks remain un-shoveled after the weekend’s historic blizzard, Mayor Bill de Blasio is on your side.

The mayor promised to crack down on businesses caught in violation at a press conference Monday morning.

“You have an obligation to shovel out enough of your sidewalk so people can pass,” de Blasio said. “We’re going to definitely be focusing today on business that aren’t doing that — we will be applying fines to any business that does not shovel out.”
