[Added 3-11-2016]
It shall be unlawful for any person to throw or deposit, or to permit or cause to be thrown or deposited, any snow or ice, which has fallen or accumulated on his or her property, upon the private property of another person.
It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of any premises fronting on any public street or alley to remove before 9:00 a.m. all snow and ice which may have fallen upon the sidewalk in front of said premises. In case said sidewalk is not paved its full width, it shall be necessary to remove such snow or ice only from a space three feet in width.
In case any owner or occupant shall neglect or refuse to remove snow and ice from the sidewalk as provided in § 194-21, such neglect or refusal shall constitute a violation of this chapter and the Chief Engineer shall proceed to clean the same without notice to such owner or occupant, and the expense thereof shall be assessed against the property.
Whenever snow and ice on the sidewalks shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without material difficulty or injury to the pavement, the owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or other person having charge of any building or lot of ground shall before 9:00 a.m. cause the sidewalk abutting on the said premises to be strewed with ashes, sand, sawdust or some suitable material and shall as soon thereafter as the weather permits thoroughly clean said sidewalks.
No person shall use any deleterious substance to remove ice or snow from the streets or sidewalks.
No person shall plow, shovel, brush, sweep or heap up any snow, ice or other material into piles or ridges in or upon any street, sidewalk, crosswalk or other public place, and in all instances where snow or ice is plowed, shoveled, brushed, swept or moved about, it shall be uniformly leveled off in front of residences and places of business by the person so plowing, shoveling, brushing, sweeping or moving it about in such manner as not to interfere with the public travel or prevent the safe approach to any residence or place of business.
