[Adopted 3-8-1961 by Ord. No. 266]
A.
The owner,
occupant or tenant of every property fronting upon or alongside of
any of the streets in the Borough of Aldan is hereby required to remove
or cause to be removed from all of the sidewalks in front of or alongside
of such property all snow or ice thereon fallen or formed, to a width
of 24 inches, within 24 hours after the same shall have ceased to
fall or to form. 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; the tenant or occupier
thereof, where such property is occupied by such tenant or occupier
only; and the owner thereof where the property is a multiple-business
or multiple-dwelling property, occupied by more than one tenant or
occupier.
B.
No owner,
occupant or tenant of any property shall place any snow, ice, hail
or other accumulated precipitation into the public streets of the
Borough of Aldan as same is specifically prohibited. This includes
snow removed by an owner, occupant or tenant from a parking space
within a public street or right-of-way and placing said snow and ice
into another area of the public street. Further, no owner, occupant
or tenant may place any object in the street in order to "hold" or
in some manner reserve a parking space in the public street as such
activity is expressly and specifically prohibited. Borough officials
(including the Code Enforcement Officer, Building Inspector, police
officer, or any other Borough Official designated by the Mayor) shall
have the authority and duty to remove any such objects placed in a
public street, thoroughfare or right-of-way.
