Any person owning or occupying any lands in the Town abutting
or fronting a sidewalk shall keep such sidewalk, at all times, in
safe condition and repair for the use of the public and free from
obstruction and defects.
Any person who violates this article or refuses to or neglects to comply with the same shall be issued a citation by the Brookfield Police Department and fined the sum of $100 for each offense. In case of a continuing violation, each day's continuance thereof shall be deemed a separate offense. [Formerly §
