In reference to "calling L&I" on your "neighbors" it is not what we should promote as "neighborly behavior". The appropriate response is to talk about snow issues at your block meeting or in advance of a storm, circulate flyers "asking" everyone to try and shovel their walk and when others are not done, pitch in and do theirs as well. When their is a chronic problem perhaps with an absentee landlord the block or neighbors should send a letter notifying the entity of the problem and requesting a formal response. If there is no response, then..call L&I.
