As used in this Article, the following terms mean:
ENTER UNLAWFULLY or REMAIN UNLAWFULLY
A person enters or remains in or upon premises when he or
she is not licensed or privileged to do so. A person who, regardless

are at the time open to the public does so with license and privilege
unless he or she defies a lawful order not to enter or remain, personally
communicated to him or her by the owner of such premises or by other
authorized person. A license or privilege to enter or remain in a
building which is only partly open to the public is not a license
or privilege to enter or remain in that part of the building which
is not open to the public.

displace it, make unwarranted alterations in its existing condition,
or to deprive, temporarily, the owner or possessor of that thing.

in the City, so as to prevent the free use of the same, shall be deemed

not be so construed as to prevent merchants, manufacturers and others,
while receiving and shipping goods, from occupying not to exceed one-half
(½) of such sidewalk with such goods for such purpose, but
the same shall in no event remain on the sidewalk longer than two
(2) hours.
The owners or occupants of the buildings in front of which any

the provisions of this Section shall be deemed guilty of an ordinance
violation.
