sidewalks in front of or alongside such property, all snow or ice
thereon fallen or formed, within eight hours after the same shall
have ceased to fall or to form, provided that snow or ice that has
ceased to fall or to be formed after 6:00 p.m. of any evening may
be removed at any time before 10:00 a.m. of the next morning, provided
further that the owner of a property shall be responsible for conforming
