Ch. 38 of the 1965 Code]
After the enactment of this article, the owner
and occupant of premises abutting on any street where a sidewalk has
been laid are hereby required to keep the sidewalk in front of said
premises free and clear from snow, ice, dirt and other obstruction.
Such cleaning must take place within 12 hours
from the time the snow, ice, dirt or other obstruction falls or is
placed upon such sidewalk.
In the event of the failure of the owner and
occupant of said premises to clean said sidewalk and remove the snow,
ice, dirt or other obstruction therefrom within the time above provided
for, the Town Board may remove the same and charge the expense thereof
to the owners of such premises. Said charge shall become a lien upon
the premises benefited thereby until paid, and, in addition thereto,
the owner and occupant of said premises shall be personally liable
for the payment thereof.
This article shall not apply to any property
or sidewalk located within the limits of an incorporated village.[1]
