The owner(s), occupant(s) or tenant(s) of premises
abutting or bordering upon the public streets of the Borough shall
remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such streets
or, in the case of ice and/or snow which may be so frozen as to make
removal impracticable, shall cause the same to be thoroughly covered
with sand, salt or cinders within 24 hours after the same shall fall
or be formed thereon.
No person, firm or corporation or the owner(s),
tenant(s) or occupant(s) of any premises abutting on any street shall
throw, place or deposit any snow or ice into or upon any street in
the Borough or upon another's property without such owner's permission,
it being the intent and purpose of this particular provision to prohibit
all persons from throwing, casting, placing or depositing snow and
ice, which accumulated within the private property belonging to or
in possession of said person, upon the streets or sidewalks of the
Borough of North Haledon. Any piling adjacent to the streets or sidewalks
shall be done in such a manner so as not to create a danger to safety
of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
In the event any owner(s), occupant(s) or tenant(s)
shall fail to remove any such snow or ice, the same may be removed
by the Borough at the cost of the property owner, in addition to the
imposition of any violations and penalties hereinbelow. The cost and
expense incurred shall be determined by the Construction Official
and charged upon the books of the Borough against the land abutting
or bordering the sidewalk, which, with interest thereon, shall forthwith
become a lien on the lands and shall be added to and form part of
the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands and shall
be certified by the Municipal Clerk to the Tax Collector for the Borough
and shall be collected in the same manner as other taxes.
[Amended 4-21-2010 by Ord. No. 7-2010]
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
II, General Penalty. Each and every day in which said violation exists shall constitute a separate violation.
