[Adopted 3-9-2011 by Ord. No. 1-2011]
A.
Every owner or tenant of any property containing, abutting or bordering
upon any paid public sidewalk shall remove or cause to be removed
from the public sidewalk all snow and ice within six hours of daylight
after the snow has stopped falling or the ice has formed.
B.
In the event that snow and ice on a sidewalk has become so hard that
it cannot be removed without the likelihood of damage to the sidewalk,
the owner or tenant shall, within the time set forth above, cause
enough sand or other abrasive to be put on the sidewalk to make travel
thereon reasonably safe and shall then, as soon thereafter as weather
reasonably permits, cause said sidewalk to be cleared.
In case of an owner or tenant refusing or neglecting to remove
said snow or ice or to apply the required sand or other abrasive,
as required above, the Borough may cause the snow or ice to be removed
or may cause sand or other abrasive to be applied and charge the cost
thereof against the property; and said amount shall be a lien on said
premises and shall be added to and form a part of the taxes next to
be assessed and levied upon said property and shall be certified to
the Borough Tax Collector. The Borough shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to undertake such removal of snow or ice or the application
of sand or other abrasive.
Any person, firm or corporation violating this article shall,
upon conviction, be subject to a fine not exceeding $500, and each
and every day that such violation continues shall be a separate and
distinct violation.
