The owners of all buildings with sloped roofs from which sliding
snow or ice may fall upon a public sidewalk or public way are required
to take appropriate measures to protect persons and property from
injury or damage occurring from such snow or ice falling from such
roof.
(b)
The tenants, occupants, or persons having the care of any building
adjacent to public sidewalk, or, if there is no tenant, the occupant
or other person having the care of such buildings, or the owner thereof,
shall, within a reasonable time after snow ceases to fall in the daytime,
and before 10:00 in the morning on the first business day after a
fall of snow in the night, cause to be removed from the sidewalks
so much of the snow and ice as will create a reasonable passage sufficient
for pedestrian traffic. If he fails to do so, the highway department
may have such snow and ice removed, and such tenant, occupant, custodian,
or owner of such building whose duty it is under this section to remove
such snow and ice shall reimburse the City for all sums paid and expenses
incurred by the highway department.

remove snow or ice from any private property, sidewalk or driveway
and deposit the snow or ice upon any public street or sidewalk in
the City in such manner as to obstruct or impede the normal movement
of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
