The owner or owners, occupant or occupants or
tenant or tenants of premises abutting upon any public street in a
residential zone in the Township of Hillside shall remove from the
abutting sidewalk, within 12 hours after the first daybreak after
the falling and formation therein, all snow and/or ice that it is
possible to remove. The application of salt, sand or some other harmless
substance shall be applied to that portion not removed so that the
same shall be rendered reasonably safe for pedestrian travel as soon
as possible thereafter. After such snow or ice has been removed, any
remaining salt, sand or other substance previously applied shall be
removed.
The owner or owners, occupant or occupants or
tenant or tenants of premises used by the public or business entities
shall be responsible for removing all snow and ice from the sidewalks,
streets and parking areas used by the public in the course of transacting
business or patronizing such establishment thereat. In the event that
such ice is frozen so as to make removal impractical, it shall be
the abovementioned persons' complete responsibility to thoroughly
cover the same with salt, sand or other harmless substance so that
travel is rendered safe for all persons passing thereon. The same
shall be done prior to the opening of business, but no later than
12:00 p.m. in any event, after the first daybreak after the same shall
fall or be formed.
The owner or owners, tenant or tenants or their
agents shall cause interior sidewalks in multifamily residential areas
containing four or more dwelling units, particularly condominiums
or cooperatives, to be cleared of snow within 12 hours after the first
daybreak after the same shall fall or be formed; and, where snow or
ice is too frozen, so as to make removal of same impractical, salt,
sand or other harmless substances shall be applied to that portion
so difficult or impractical to remove. The same shall be removed as
soon thereafter as reasonably possible.
No owner, tenant or occupant or agent of the
owner, tenant or occupant, or any other person, shall throw or place
snow or ice upon any Township street or gutter.
