[Adopted 4-8-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
It shall be the duty of the owner of every parcel of real estate adjoining a public sidewalk, whether the parcel of real estate is occupied by a structure or not, to keep such sidewalks adjoining such property free from debris, snow and ice.
Snow and ice shall be removed from all sidewalks within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall.
In case snow and ice on any sidewalk shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk, the owner shall, within 24 hours, cause said sidewalk to be strewn and kept strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust or other suitable material so as to be no longer dangerous to life and limb. As soon as practical thereafter, the sidewalk shall be completely cleared of snow, ice and other materials strewn thereon, as provided in this article.
Whenever the owner or occupant of every parcel of real estate adjoining a public sidewalk fails to remove the snow and ice from such sidewalk adjoining such property within the time specified in this article or within 24 hours after being notified, in writing, by the Code Enforcement Officer of the Town of Schroeppel to remove the same, a summons may be issued to the property owner, and the Superintendent of Highways may remove said snow or ice from such sidewalk to preserve public health, welfare and safety and notify the Town Clerk of the expense incurred by the amount of labor, equipment and materials used.
The Town Clerk shall promptly present to the owner or occupant of each parcel a bill for the removal of snow and ice as certified by the Superintendent of Highways. If not paid within 30 days, the cost thereof shall be assessed against the property and become a lien thereon, collectible in the same manner as delinquent Town taxes.
The owner(s) of buildings adjacent to public sidewalks shall prevent the falling of snow, ice or water from such buildings upon said public sidewalks.
A. 
No person, firm or corporation shall pile, gather up, plow up or in any way force any snow or ice upon any sidewalk, street, avenue or roadway within the Town of Schroeppel or from one sidewalk, street, avenue or roadway onto any other sidewalk, street, avenue or roadway within the Town of Schroeppel. It shall be unlawful to cover a fire hydrant with snow or ice.

No person, firm, corporation, property owner or occupant shall remove snow or ice from any parcel of real estate and place it upon another parcel of real estate without the express permission of the owner of the parcel of real estate upon which the snow or ice is to be placed.

Any person, firm or corporation piling, gathering or plowing up snow or ice on any public street, avenue or roadway shall forthwith remove the same at his, her or its expense upon the direction of the Superintendent of Highways of the Town of Schroeppel.

E. 
The Town Clerk shall promptly present to the violator of this article a bill for the removal of snow and ice, as provided for in § 79-42D, as certified by the Superintendent of Highways.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article, or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjusted by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
