abutting upon or alongside any street or alley in the City of Bradford
is hereby required to remove or cause to be removed from all of the
sidewalks in front of or abutting upon such property the snow and
ice thereon fallen or formed sufficient to produce a cleared path
or walkway at least 30 inches wide within 24 hours after any snowfall
which measures in excess of two inches during a proceeding twenty-four-hour
period as measured by records maintained at the Central Fire Station

of a property shall be so responsible where such property is a single-unit
property occupied by such tenant or occupier only, provided that it
shall be unlawful to dispose of any snow or ice so removed by placing
or throwing the same into any street, alley or gutter.
In any case where the owner, occupant or tenant as aforesaid shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of § 189-17 of this article within the time limit prescribed therein, the City authorities may proceed immediately to clear all snow and/or ice from the sidewalk of such delinquent and to collect the expenses thereof, with an additional amount of 10% thereof, from such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under § 189-19 of this article.
