whenever any such sidewalk or any part thereof shall be covered with
ice, the owner, tenant or occupant of the building or land adjacent

daytime, cause such sidewalk to be made safe and convenient by removing
the ice therefrom or by covering the same with sand or some other
suitable substance.
The owner, tenant or occupant of any building or land whose
duty it is to clear the sidewalks adjacent thereto, who shall violate
