A. 
The owner, occupant or tenant of any property fronting upon or alongside any of the streets in the Township shall remove or cause to be removed from the sidewalks in front of or alongside his or her property all snow and ice thereon fallen or formed, within 10 hours after such snow and ice have ceased to fall or form. However, snow or ice that has ceased to fall or form after 6:00 p.m. may be removed at any time before 11:00 a.m. of the next day. Responsibility for compliance with this section shall lie with the owner of property where such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied; with the tenant or occupier thereof where such property is occupied by such tenant or occupier only; and with the owner thereof where the property is a multiple-business or multifamily dwelling property occupied by more than one tenant or occupier.
