No. Vinegar will change the freezing point but adding more water to ice is like adding fuel to fire. It won't improve the situation.
Sprinkle Calcium Carbonate pellets- rock salt works also but can be deleterious to concrete & brick.

They should have rock salt at any Walmart or something right in front when you walk in. Just sprinkle some on the ice and in about a half hour or so, the ice should melt.

place a 1/2 raised mat on your steps, it will still ice up, but will provide traction.
Try to cover the steps to prevent ice from forming on them in the first place.

Use ordinary cooking salt. It works like magic.
