The owner, occupant or tenant of every property 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 located on Chestnut Street in the City of Bradford.
