Upon the dedication and acceptance of new streets, official street numbers
shall be assigned and allotted in the manner set forth in §
225-1
with respect to existing streets.
Any person who feels aggrieved by any assignment and allotment under
§§
225-1 or
225-2 shall have the right to appeal to the Council,
in writing or in person, at any of its meetings. A hearing shall be granted
upon the appeal, and the Council shall thereupon proceed to finally determine
the matter.
No person shall obstruct or permit the obstruction of the traveled portion
of any street by placing, erecting or constructing any vehicle, barrier, structure
or object whatsoever in, upon or over the traveled portion of the street without
the permission or consent of the Police Department.
The owner, agent or tenant having charge of any building or lands abutting
or bordering upon any street, avenue or highway in the borough upon which
there is a sidewalk or temporary sidewalk shall remove or cause to be removed
all snow, ice and sleet from, and maintain free and clear of all snow, ice
and sleet, the sidewalk or temporary sidewalk abutting such building or lands,
as the case may be, to a width of six feet with respect to premises used for
commercial purposes and for the full width in the case of premises used for
any other purpose within 24 hours after such snow, ice or sleet shall have
fallen or accumulated thereon.
In the event that there is a failure to comply with the provisions of
§
225-5, such snow, ice or sleet may be removed by and under the
direction of the Borough Engineer. The cost of such removal shall be certified
by the Borough Engineer to the Mayor and Council, which shall examine such
certificate of cost and, if it finds such certificate to be correct and reasonable,
shall cause such cost to be charged against the lands and premises abutting
upon the sidewalk or temporary sidewalk involved. The amount so charged shall
thereupon become a lien and tax upon such lands and premises and shall be
added to and be a part of the taxes next to be levied and assessed thereon
and enforced and collected by the Tax Collector but with no interest to be
charged. The imposition and collection of any penalties imposed by the provisions
of this Code shall not bar the right of the borough to collect the cost of
the removal of such snow, ice or sleet from the sidewalk or temporary sidewalk
involved, as hereinbefore specified, and such remedies shall be cumulative.
No person shall place or cause to be placed any snow or ice upon the
traveled portion of any street, highway or avenue within the borough.
