[Adopted 9-14-1961 by Ord. No. 600, approved 9-14-1961]
The owner, occupant or tenant of every property
fronting upon or alongside of any of the streets in the Borough of
Glenolden is hereby required to remove or cause to be removed from
all of the sidewalks in front of or alongside of such property, to
a width of three feet, all snow thereon fallen within 24 hours after
the same shall have ceased to fall. The owner of a property shall
be responsible for conforming to the requirements of this section
where such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied; the
tenant or occupier thereof where such property is occupied by such
tenant or occupier only; and the owner thereof where the property
is a multiple-business or multiple-dwelling property occupied by more
than one tenant or occupier.
[Amended 12-9-1982 by Ord. No. 867, approved 12-9-1982]
Any owner, occupant or tenant who shall fail to remove any snow or ice from any sidewalk as required by § 144-27 shall, upon conviction thereof before a District Justice, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100 and costs of prosecution and, upon default in payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment for not more than 30 days; provided, however, that such fine and costs of prosecution may be in addition to any expenses and additional amounts authorized by law, imposed as provided in § 144-29.
In any case where the owner, occupant or tenant, as aforesaid, shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with any of the provisions of § 144-27 within 48 hours after the snow has ceased falling, the Borough authorities may proceed immediately to clear all snow from the sidewalk of such delinquent property owner and to collect the expenses thereof, with any additional amount allowed by law, from such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under § 144-28. Such expense, costs and fines may be collected by filing a municipal claim or lien therefor in the manner provided by law for the collection of municipal claims.
