Upon failure of any owner, occupant or tenant to comply with any of the provisions of §
208-40, the Borough of Punxsutawney, by any designated agent or employee, may remove such snow, ice, hail or sleet from the sidewalk, street, alley or public highway and collect the expenses of said removal, with an additional penalty of 10%, which shall be collected from the defaulting owner, occupant or tenant, as provided by law or equity, including the right to file a municipal lien. This penalty shall be in addition to any penalty imposed by §
208-42.
Any owner, occupant or tenant who violates any of the provisions herein as set forth in §
208-40, shall be guilty of a summary offense upon conviction and be subject to a fine of not more than $300.00 and/or be committed to the Jefferson County jail for a period not exceeding five days. Each day of noncompliance with this article shall constitute a separate offense.
If any court of competent jurisdiction holds
any individual provision of this article or the application of any
individual provision of this article to be illegal or unconstitutional,
the other provisions of the article and the application of such provisions
to other circumstances shall remain in full force and effect. It is
the intention of the Borough Council that the provisions of this article
shall be severable and that the article would have been adopted if
any such illegal or unconstitutional provision had not been included.
