I think it's still worth it to call 311 and let them know, even if it's too late this time. I'm not sure if they keep detailed records of complaints, but if they do, and then you (or someone) call to complain again at the next snow, it'll hold more weight... Can't hurt.

I used to get REALLY annoyed when I lived on the same block as the JFK School on Elm Street, and the sidewalks around the school would only be shoveled on school days. Meaning, if there was a big snow on a weekend, or big enough that school was canceled, it would be untouched. I called 311 every time, to point out that even on non-school days, the community still needs those sidewalks.

Eventually they did start clearing on weekends/snow days. I like to think I helped; who knows if I actually did. :)
