Snow Removal

Hello all, 

I have a specific question about snow removal in massachusetts.

I own a SFR and the duplex next door. I live in the SFR and rent the duplex. I share a driveway with one side of the duplex. The other side of duplex has its own driveway and takes care of snow removal. Am I responsible for the snow removal of the shared driveway?

My reason is, I work for the fire department and the last two big storms I have been stuck at work for 48hrs, so I, personally, was not able to shovel. The first storm (blizzard) I had it plowed, and my girlfriend cleaned up the remaining. The second storm my girlfriend shoveled it all herself. Both storms my tenants had off from work and did not even attempt to help. He even came outside, got something out of his car, and went back inside, while she was shoveling and did not even thank her. This just seems disrespectful, and shows lack of character on his part, in my opinion. Sorry for the rant. Enjoy your day!
