[Adopted 2-13-1961 by Ord. No. 421 (Ch. 21, Part 4, of the 2006 Code
of Ordinances)]
[Amended 12-10-1990 by Ord. No. 835; 11-21-2006 by Ord. No. 990]
A.
It shall be unlawful for the occupant or occupants of any premises
in the Borough of Folcroft, or, if such premises are unoccupied, for
the owner or owners thereof, to permit snow or ice to remain upon
any sidewalk in front or adjoining such property more than 24 hours
after the snowfall has ceased or the ice has formed.
B.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of
this article, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a
fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment
of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30
days. Each day that a violation of this article continues shall constitute
a separate offense.
The appropriate officials or employees of the Borough of Folcroft
may tow away or otherwise remove any automobile or other vehicle left
parked or otherwise standing in any street of the Borough of Folcroft
during a snowstorm and not removed within the period of 24 hours after
the end of the snow storm if, in the opinion of such officials or
employees, the continued presence of such vehicle constitutes a safety
hazard, an obstruction to traffic or impedes the removal of snow or
ice or the cleaning of the streets. The appropriate officials of the
Borough may contract with any person or persons for the removal and
storage of any such vehicle. All proper costs and charges for such
removal and storage shall be payable by the owner or custodian of
such vehicle and the payment thereof may be required before the release
of the vehicle to its owner or custodian. In no event shall the Borough
of Folcroft be liable for the payment of such costs and changes.
