[Amended 7-7-2014 by Ord. No. 427; 11-3-2014 by Ord. No. 429]
The owner or occupant of any premises shall keep the contiguous sidewalks free from snow, ice, dirt, filth, weeds and other obstructions or encumbrances and in good and safe repair and shall cause such sidewalks to be cleared of any snow and ice within 24 hours after any snowfall shall have ceased or ice has formed. Such owner or occupant shall also mow/cut the grass/weeds and maintain other vegetation in the verge (the vegetative area between the sidewalk and the curb) and the curb itself in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 101, Brush, Grass and Weeds, herein, as amended.
A. 
Any owner or occupant of a premises who has been notified by the Borough Secretary or Police Department that the contiguous sidewalks are in violation of § 260-18 hereof, except in regard to snow and ice, and who fails to correct the condition within 10 days of the sending of such notice to his last known address by mail, shall be in violation of this article.
B. 
In addition to the penalties otherwise enforceable for general violations of this article, the Borough may thereafter correct the prohibited condition and assess the cost thereof against the owner of the adjacent property. Such cost, if not paid, shall be assessable against the property as a tax thereon.
C. 
In the case of snow and ice, no such ten-day notice is required, and if, within 24 hours after the cessation of every fall of snow or the formation of any ice, the owner or occupant of any premises fails to clear such sidewalk of snow and ice, he shall be in violation of this article. In addition, the Borough may clear such sidewalks of snow and ice if they are not cleared by the owner or occupant within the said 24 hours and assess the cost thereof against the owner of the adjacent property. Such cost, if not paid, shall be assessable against the property as a tax thereon.
Snow and ice removed from sidewalks, driveways and private property shall not be deposited or plowed into any public gutter, street or highway. The existence of any such deposit in or on a gutter, street or highway in front of a sidewalk, driveway or private property shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section by the owner, tenant or occupant thereof.
