[Ord. 379, 7/3/1967]
The owner, occupant or tenant of every property fronting upon
or alongside any street in the Borough of Nazareth is hereby required
to remove or to cause to be removed from all of the sidewalks in front
of or alongside such property all snow and ice thereon fallen or formed,
within 24 hours after the same shall have ceased to fall or to be
formed. Provided, the owner of a property shall be responsible for
conforming to the requirements of this Section where such property
is occupied by such owner or is vacant or unoccupied or is a multiple-business
or multiple-dwelling property, having more than one business and/or
dwelling unit; the tenant or occupier shall be responsible where the
property is composed of a single unit, occupied by such tenant or
occupier only.
[Ord. 379, 7/3/1967]
In any case where the owner, occupant or tenant, as aforesaid, shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with any of the provisions of § 21-301, within the time limit prescribed therein, the Borough authorities may proceed immediately to clear all snow and/or ice from the sidewalk of such delinquent, and to collect the expenses of such removal with an additional amount of 10% from such owner, occupant or tenant, which may be in addition to the penalty imposed under § 21-304 hereof.
[Ord. 379, 7/3/1967]
It shall be unlawful for the owner, occupant or tenant of any
property within the Borough to place, throw, dump or pile any snow
or ice removed from such property (other than from the sidewalks abutting
thereon) upon or into any sidewalk, curb, gutter, alley or street
in the Borough, or to permit or cause the same to be done by any other
person or persons, partnership, firm or corporation. It is hereby
declared that removal and disposal of snow and ice from such property
is neither directly nor indirectly a function or responsibility of
the Borough government, and that, if the owner, occupant or tenant
of any property shall desire or require that such snow and/or ice
be removed from such property, it shall be the sole responsibility
of such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, to remove the
same and to transport it to a place of disposal other than a sidewalk,
curb, gutter, alley or street.
