[Adopted 7-11-1972 as Ch. 76 of
the 1972 Code]
[Amended 5-14-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-5]
The owner or tenant of lands abutting or bordering
upon the sidewalks of public streets or public places in the Borough
shall remove all snow and ice from the sidewalks abutting or bordering
their property, edge to edge, within 24 hours after the same shall
be formed or fallen thereon. Sidewalks are to be cleared in such a
manner so as to leave any access to a crosswalk adjacent to the sidewalk
also clear and fully accessible.
[Amended 5-14-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-5]
In addition to the penalties herein provided,
if the owner or tenant of any such premises shall neglect or refuse
to comply with this article, the Borough Administrator may authorize
Borough employees or agents to remove the ice or snow for which the
property owner is responsible. Upon completion of the abatement, the
Borough Administrator may prepare a report of any expenditures for
presentation to the Borough Council. After review of the report, the
Borough Council may approve the expenses and costs by resolution and,
thereupon, the stated amount of expenses and costs spent shall become
a lien against the premises, collectible as provided by law in conformity
with N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.14. A copy of the resolution approving the expenses
and costs shall be certified by the Borough Clerk and filed with the
Tax Collector of the Borough, who shall be responsible for the collection
thereof; and a copy of the report and resolution shall be sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owner of the affected
premises.
No person shall place or cause to be placed
any snow or ice upon the traffic lanes of the roadway of any street.
In the event that it is necessary to clear the roadway of snow and
ice in front of any property for the purpose of providing parking
space or to give access to such property, then such snow or ice shall
be properly piled in the roadway line and in such a manner that the
gutterway shall be unobstructed.
It shall be unlawful for any person to remove
any snow or ice from any private property and place the same onto
the sidewalks or roadway of any street.
[Amended 4-11-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-5]
Any owner, tenant or person violating any of
the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be
subject to a penalty of $50 for the first offense. The penalty for
a second or subsequent offense shall be $100.
