The owner, occupant or tenant of every property
abutting upon or alongside any street or alley in the Borough of Carlisle
is hereby required to remove or cause to be removed from all the sidewalks
in front of or abutting upon such property all snow and ice thereon
fallen or formed within 24 hours after the same shall have fallen
or formed. Such sidewalks shall be cleared entirely of snow and ice
or for a width of four feet, whichever shall be less, and the snow
and ice removed therefrom shall not be placed upon the street on which
such property fronts or abuts. The owner of a property shall be responsible
for conforming to the requirements of this section where such property
shall be occupied by such owner, shall be vacant or unoccupied or
shall be a multiple-unit property having more than one tenanted or
tenantable unit; the tenant or occupier of a property shall be so
responsible where such property is a single-unit property occupied
by such tenant or occupier only.
In any case where the owner, occupant or tenant, as aforesaid, shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of § 223-16 above within the time limit prescribed therein, the Borough authorities may proceed immediately to clear all snow and/or ice from the sidewalk of such delinquent and to collect the expenses thereof, with an additional amount of 10% thereof, from such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under § 223-18 below.

Such fine and costs of prosecution may be in addition to any expenses and additional amounts imposed as provided in § 223-17 above.
