[Amended 7-22-2008 by L.L. No. 6-2008]
A. 
During times when snow and ice are present, the person or entity occupying the ground floor of a building, and the owner of a vacant lot, shall reasonably keep the sidewalk adjoining such building in such condition that the public may reasonably utilize said sidewalk for its normal purposes. This provision does not impose upon the owner/occupant the responsibility to remove snow and ice continuously during the process of a severe snow storm or during an ice storm. If the Village has not removed all snow and ice from the sidewalk by 11:00 a.m., or has not kept the sidewalk open and reasonably clear of snow and ice thereafter (other than during a severe snow storm or ice storm), the owner or occupant shall remove such snow and ice as soon as reasonably practicable, to permit normal use of said sidewalks.
B. 
When snow and ice is removed from sidewalks by the Village using plows, it shall be the duty of the occupant/owner, as applicable, to reasonably remove remaining snow and ice from the sidewalk thereafter, to the extent necessary to permit normal use of the sidewalk, to the width established by the plow.
C. 
In the event ice has accumulated on the sidewalk, the owner/occupant, as applicable, shall reasonably endeavor to provide treatment to the ice as will reasonably permit normal use of the sidewalk.
D. 
No owner/occupant of real property shall knowingly discharge and direct water in such a fashion as the same will accumulate or freeze on a public road or sidewalk. Removal of such accumulation or ice created by such discharge or direction shall be at the sole cost of the party causing such discharge or direction of water.
Whenever any owner, lessee, occupant or person having charge of any parcel of real estate shall fail or neglect to remove snow or ice from such sidewalk, as herein provided, the Superintendent of Public Works or the foreman in charge of highways shall cause the same to be removed therefrom without notice, and the bill for the cost of the same shall be mailed to the owner at his last known place of residence, and in case he shall fail to pay the same within 10 days, a statement thereof shall be filed with the Treasurer stating the cost of the work and location of property upon which the cleaning was done, and the said Treasurer shall add the same to the tax roll and it shall be levied against such property and collected in the same manner as other general Village taxes.
