[Adopted 2-25-1974 by Ord. No. 1564 as
Ch. 118, Art. IV, of the 1974 Code]
It shall be the duty of all owners, tenants
and occupants of buildings or land abutting on a paved sidewalk on
a public highway to cause such sidewalk to be kept clear of snow and
ice in front of their respective premises.
Snow and ice removed from sidewalks, driveways
and other private property shall not be deposited or plowed into any
public street or highway. The existence of any such deposit on a street
or highway in front of a sidewalk, driveway or private property shall
be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section by the owner,
tenant or occupant thereof.

permit ice to remain on the sidewalk and not covered with a material
designed to alleviate the slippery condition shall be subject to a
fine of $50, plus costs, for each offense.
B.
Each day or part of a day in which any such snow or
ice remains after it should be removed shall constitute a separate
offense.
