No. 269]
The owner, occupant or tenant of any property fronting on or
adjoining any street or alley in the Borough shall clear a pathway
of at least three feet in width on the sidewalk in front of or adjoining
such property within 12 hours after the snow which is the cause thereof
has ceased to fall or to be formed or after the same has been deposited
thereon in any manner. No snow removed from any sidewalk shall be
deposited in the street after the street has been plowed.
The owner of a property shall be responsible
for carrying out the requirements of this chapter where such property
is occupied by him or is unoccupied or the property is a multiple-business
or multiple-dwelling property which is designed to be occupied by
more than one tenant. The tenant or occupant shall be responsible
for carrying out the requirements of this chapter where such property
is occupied by such tenant only.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any precipitation depositing any accumulation on the streets
and sidewalks, such as snow, sleet, hail, ice and freezing rain.
[Amended 11-15-1983 by Ord. No. 152]
Any person or persons, corporation, partnership
or other entity whatsoever violating any of the provisions of this
chapter shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine not to
exceed the maximum fine of $300, plus costs of prosecution, and, in
default of payment of such costs and prosecution, to be imprisoned
for a term not exceeding 30 days; provided, however, that if the Magisterial
District Judge determines that the defendant is without the financial
means to pay the fines and costs immediately or in a single remittance,
such defendant shall be permitted to pay the fines or costs in installments
and over such periods of time as the Magisterial District Judge deems
to be just.
