No owner, tenant or occupant of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit snow or ice into or on any street, it being the intent and purpose of this provision to prohibit all persons throwing, casting, placing or depositing snow and ice which accumulates within the private property belonging to that person on the sidewalks or streets of the City, except that snow or ice removal from a sidewalk or public right-of-way in compliance with §
366-1 may be deposited neatly on the remaining portion of such sidewalk or right-of-way from which removal is not required.
In case such snow or ice shall not be removed from such sidewalks
or shall be cast or deposited thereon or placed upon the sidewalks
or the street by the owner, tenant or occupant of any premises as
hereinabove provided, the same shall be removed under the direction
of the Director of Public Works, and the cost of removal as nearly
as can be ascertained shall be certified by the Director of Public
Works to the Director of Finance. The Board of Commissioners shall
examine the certification and, if found to be correct, shall cause
the cost to be charged against the real estate abutting or bordering
upon such sidewalks, and the amount so charged shall forthwith become
a lien and a tax in the same manner as the taxes next to be levied
and assessed upon the premises, and shall bear interest and be enforced
and collected by the same officers and in the same manner as other
taxes. The imposition and collection of a fine or other penalty for
violation of any of the provisions of this article shall not constitute
any bar to the right of the City to collect the cost, as certified,
for the removal of snow or ice in the manner herein authorized.
Any person who violates any provisions of this article shall
be subject to a fine of $50.
