The owner, occupant or tenant of every property
fronting upon or alongside of any of the streets in the Borough of
Trafford is hereby required to remove or cause to be removed from
all of the sidewalks in front of or alongside such property all snow
and ice fallen or formed thereon within 24 hours after the accumulation
thereof; provided, however, that the owner of a property shall be
responsible for conforming to the requirements of this section where
such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied or vacant
or where such property is a multiple-business or multiple-dwelling
property occupied by more than one tenant; provided, further, that
the tenant or occupant of the property shall be responsible therefor
where such property is 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 any of the provisions of § 170-36 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 any additional amount allowed by law, from such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under § 170-38.
[Amended 5-10-2005 by Ord. No. 702]
Any owner, occupant or tenant who shall fail to remove any snow or ice from sidewalk as required by § 170-36 shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, and costs of prosecution, and in default thereof to imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 30 days.
