[Amended 12-11-1961; 12-17-1979 by L.L. No. 19-1979; 12-1-2014]
A.
The owner or occupant of any premises shall cause the contiguous
sidewalks and, in the case of multifamily dwellings, all driveways
and access and exit roads on the premises to be cleared of snow and
ice within 18 hours after such snowfall shall have ceased or ice shall
have formed, except in the case of properties in the Restricted Retail
Zoning Districts and the Neighborhood Shopping Zoning Districts in
the Village, which shall have the snow and ice removed at all times
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
B.
Where snow has melted and shall be frozen or where there has been
an ice storm and the contiguous sidewalks shall be frozen, the ice
shall be removed within two hours. The two hour period shall not apply
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Should the snow have
melted and shall be frozen or where there has been an ice storm and
the contiguous sidewalk shall be frozen during the period from 10:00
p.m. and 5:00 a.m., the snow and ice shall be removed by 7:00 a.m.
If the melted snow and ice shall be frozen to a degree that it cannot
be removed within said period by customary means, the owner or occupant
of the abutting premises shall cause salt, sand, ashes, sawdust or
other suitable material to be strewn upon the sidewalks, driveways
and access and exit roads within the said period. The said sidewalk
shall as soon thereafter as weather conditions permit be thoroughly
cleared of snow and ice.
[Amended 1-8-1962]
A.
In the event that the owner or occupant of any premises does not obey the requirements of § 259-37, the Village may carry out the same and charge the costs thereof to the owner of the premises. Such costs shall constitute a lien or charge on said premises until paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged and shall be added to the Village tax roll and collected in the same manner as delinquent taxes.
B.
Before collecting the costs in such manner, however,
the Board of Trustees will hold a hearing as to the justness of said
costs, upon due notice to the owner of the amount of costs and as
to the time and place of hearing. If, after such hearing, the Board
of Trustees shall determine that a lesser charge would be just, the
amount of such lesser charge shall thenceforth constitute a lien and
charge and shall be collectible as provided above.
