Requirements for removal of snow and ice, and maintenance of sidewalk.
The following requirements apply to the removal of any accumulation
or deposit of snow and ice, and the maintenance of public sidewalks
by property owners in the City:

The
removal of any accumulation or deposit of snow and ice from a public
sidewalk must occur within 48 hours of its accumulation or deposit.

sand, salt, or similar material, in addition to the clearing of snow
and ice.
C.

Penalties.
(1)
Upon
failure of a property owner to remove accumulated or deposited snow
and ice from a public sidewalk within the time specified, or to treat
a public sidewalk to prevent ice buildup and slippery conditions by

the debt is not paid after billing, the debt shall become a lien in
favor of the City against the owner's property and shall be assessed
the same as real property taxes are assessed and levied.
(3)
Depositing
or causing to be deposited by any property owner in the City of snow
and ice on any public street, alley, or crosswalk adjacent to, abutting,
or adjoining their property, shall be a municipal civil infraction
