[Adopted 5-20-1948 (Ch. 72 of the 1974 Code)]
Every owner, occupant or person in charge of
the whole or any part of any house, building or lot in the Borough
of Prospect Park shall remove all snow and ice from a space at least
four feet wide, as a path for pedestrians, along the whole of the
sidewalk in front of, and as to property on a corner, then also alongside
of, his said house, building or lot within 12 daylight hours after
said snow has ceased falling thereon.
In removing snow or ice from the sidewalks,
no person shall throw or cause to be thrown any snow or ice into the
road.
In case any snow or ice shall be congealed so
that it cannot be removed without injury to the pavement, the owner,
occupant or person having charge of the whole or any part of any house
or building, vacant lot or lots shall immediately when the same shall
have become congealed cause the sidewalk in front of, and as to property
on a corner, then also alongside of, such house, building, vacant
lot or lots to be strewn with ashes or sand.
[Added 11-11-1974]
In the event that such snow or ice is not removed
from sidewalks or they are not made safe by the use of sand or ashes
within the time provided herein, the snow or ice shall be removed
or the sidewalks shall be made safe forthwith under the direction
of the Street Foreman, and the approximate cost of labor and materials
shall be certified by the Street Foreman to the governing body. If
such charges are found to be correct by the governing body, the cost
shall be charged against the owner of the property abutting said sidewalks
and the amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien and a tax
upon such real estate or land and be added to, recorded and collected
in the same way and manner as the taxes next to be levied and assessed
upon such premises. The imposition and collection of a fine or fines
resulting from a violation hereunder shall not constitute a bar to
the right of the Borough of Prospect Park to also collect the cost
of removal of snow as herein provided.
