All owners and/or occupiers of land containing a public sidewalk

[Amended 9-21-1988 by Ord. No. 1080; 6-16-1999 by Ord. No. 1155]
Any owner or occupant failing to comply with or violating the provisions of § 294-12 of this article shall, within 24 hours after receipt of written notice of such violation from the Borough Manager or Borough Council, remedy such violation by removing all trash and rubbish on said public sidewalk. Upon conviction before a Magisterial District Judge or failure to so remedy the violation, the owner and/or occupant shall be fined not more than $600, plus costs of prosecution, and in default of payment of such fine and costs shall be imprisoned for not more than 30 days.

Separate proceedings may be instituted and separate penalties imposed for each such offense.
