No owner of real property within the Village of Clayton that has a sidewalk located between the property and the improved street margin shall allow said sidewalk to remain obstructed by snow for a period in excess of 24 hours after the accumulation occurs, whether the snow accumulation is by snowfall, wind, plowing, or any other means. The duty imposed on a property owner by this section to remove snow from the sidewalk shall apply irrespective of whether the sidewalk is located on the owner's property boundary line or inside the street right-of-way.
[Added 1-6-1987 by L.L. No. 2-1987]
Snow removed from sidewalks and driveways shall not be placed in the streets of the Village.

After 24 hours have expired since accumulation of snow as mentioned in § 110-25 above, and after three hours have expired since accumulation of snow as mentioned in § 110-26 above,[1] the Village of Clayton shall have the option of removing such snow and charging the expenses thereof against the property owner at such rates as shall be established by the Board of Trustees each year. In the event that the billing for such snow removal is not paid to the Village of Clayton on or before the first day of May each year, then such amounts shall be added to the Village taxes assessed against the property and shall be collected under the same provisions as provided for the collection of the Village taxes.
