With the exception of those undeveloped private lots abutting the
sea wall on the eastern side of Ocean Avenue, the owner or tenant
of land abutting upon the sidewalk of any other street or avenue shall
remove all snow and ice from each sidewalk within 48 hours after same
have formed or fallen thereon.
B.
If the event that caused the accumulation of snow and ice was so extraordinary that it would be a hardship to require owners or tenants to meet the forty-eight-hour period set forth in Subsection A herein, the Mayor shall notify the Borough Clerk, in writing, that the forty-eight-hour period has been extended for a designated period of time, which shall not be more than an additional 48 hours. Only one such extension shall be permitted.
C.
Whenever a property owner or tenant has failed to remove an accumulation
of snow and ice within the time specified herein, the Borough Administrator
may cause said accumulation of snow and ice to be removed, and the
cost thereof shall be certified to the Mayor and Council. Upon examination,
if the certification shall be found to be correct, the Mayor and Council
shall cause the cost shown thereon to be charged against said property;
the amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien upon such lands
and shall be added to and become and form a part of the taxes next
to be assessed and levied upon such property; the same to bear interest
at the same rate as taxes; and shall be collected and enforced by
the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
