It shall be the duty of the owner and occupant, jointly and severally, of every parcel of real estate adjoining a public sidewalk, whether the parcel of real estate is occupied by a structure or not, to keep such sidewalks adjoining such property free from snow and ice and for the full paved width of such sidewalk.
Snow and ice shall be removed within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall. Sidewalks in front of commercial establishments and commercial parking lots shall be kept free of snow and ice at all times between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
In case snow and ice on any sidewalk shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk, it shall, within the time specified in § 135-9, be strewn and kept strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust or other suitable material so as to be no longer dangerous to life and limb. As soon as practical thereafter, the sidewalk shall be completely cleared of snow, ice and other materials strewn thereon, as provided in this chapter.
Whenever the owner or occupant of every parcel of real estate adjoining a public sidewalk fails to remove the snow and ice from such sidewalk adjoining such property within the time specified in this chapter or within four hours after notice of the Superintendent of Streets of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson to remove same, the Street Superintendent may remove said snow or ice from such sidewalk and notify the Village Clerk of the expense incurred by the amount of labor, equipment and materials used.
The Village Clerk shall promptly present to the owner or occupant of each parcel a bill for the removal of snow and ice as certified by the Superintendent of Streets. If not paid within 30 days, the cost thereof shall be assessed against the property and become a lien thereon, collectible in the same manner as delinquent village taxes.
The owners and occupants of buildings adjacent to public sidewalks shall prevent the falling of snow, ice or water from such buildings upon said public sidewalks.

B. 
No person, firm or corporation shall pile, gather up, plow up or in any way force any snow or ice upon any terrace or parcel of land within six feet of any street, avenue or roadway in such a manner as to cause the height of the snow and ice so piled, gathered, plowed or forced to exceed three feet six inches in height above the existing natural grade of said terrace or parcel of land within six feet to said street, except that it shall be unlawful to cover a fire hydrant with snow or ice.
C.

There is hereby declared an emergency to exist in the Village by reason of a heavy snowstorm whenever snow falls during any period of 24 hours or less to a depth of 2 1/2 inches or more, in that such storm constitutes a serious public hazard impairing transportation, the movement of food and fuel supplies, medical care, fire, health and police protection and other vital facilities of the Village. Such an emergency is declared to continue for a period of 24 hours or until such earlier time as snowplowing operations have been declared completed by the Superintendent of Streets of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson.
