No person shall throw, dump, deposit or place or cause
to be thrown, dumped, deposited or placed upon any sidewalk any glass,
paper, plastic, refuse, trash, garbage, rubbish, litter or any nauseous
or offensive matter, including dog feces.
B.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting
the use, in a reasonable manner, of salt or other nondeleterious material
or substance for the purpose of reducing the hazard of or providing
traction on snow, ice or salt.
C.
It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of
any premises fronting on any public street or alley to remove from
the sidewalk abutting thereto, before 9:00 a.m., all glass, paper,
plastic, refuse, trash, garbage, rubbish, litter or any nauseous or
offensive matter, including dog feces, on or about said sidewalk.
D.
In case any owner or occupant shall neglect or refuse to remove any such item as described in Subsection C above from the sidewalk as provided therein, such neglect or refusal shall constitute a violation, and the Public Works Division shall proceed to clean the same without notice to such owner or occupant, and the expense thereof, not to exceed $500, shall be assessed against the property owner. If said assessment remains unpaid for 60 days following the notice of assessment by regular mail to the owner, then the Commissioner of Public Works shall notify the City Treasurer in writing of the nonpayment, and the City Treasurer shall add the cost thereof to the property owner’s real property city tax bill, and such unpaid charges for City cleanup of littered sidewalks shall incur interest and penalties as such is provided for by law for unpaid real property taxes, until such charge or assessment is paid in full.
