The duties of owners, tenants, or persons in possession of any property are as follows:
(A) Sidewalks. It shall be the duty of the owner, tenant, or person in possession of any property abutting on any sidewalk to keep such sidewalk free from snow and ice and to remove or cause to be removed all accumulation of snow or ice within 24 hours after every fall or accumulation of snow or ice.
(B) Sidewalks ending at intersection or crosswalk. It shall be the duty of the owner, tenant, or person in possession of any property abutting upon any sidewalk which ends at an intersection or crosswalk to remove or cause to be removed all accumulation of snow or ice within 24 hours after every fall or accumulation of snow or ice. Snow and ice deposited on the sidewalk in the street removal process shall be removed within 24 hours of being deposited.
(C) Mailboxes. It shall be the duty of the property owner, tenant, or person in possession of any property upon which any mailbox is affixed to keep the immediate area around such mailbox free from snow and ice in such a manner so as not to obstruct or interfere with the delivery or collection of the United States mail, and to remove or cause to be removed all accumulation of snow or ice within 24 hours after every fall or accumulation of snow or ice. Snow and ice deposited around any mailbox in the street removal process shall be removed within 24 hours of being deposited.
(D) Fire hydrants. It shall be the duty of the property owner, tenant, or person in possession of any property upon which any fire hydrant is affixed to keep the immediate area around such fire hydrant free from snow and ice in such a manner so as not to obstruct or interfere with access to the fire hydrant, and to remove or cause to be removed all accumulation of snow or ice within 24 hours after every fall or accumulation of snow or ice. Snow and ice must be removed from at least a three-foot radius around any fire hydrant, and at least a two-foot wide path must be cleared between the fire hydrant and the nearest city street. Snow and ice deposited around any fire hydrant in the street removal process shall be removed within 24 hours of being deposited.
(E) Sanding sidewalks. In the event that snow or ice on a sidewalk have become so hard that such accumulation cannot be removed without the likelihood of damage to the sidewalk, the owner, tenant, or person in possession charged with the removal of such accumulation shall, within 24 hours, cause enough sand or other abrasive to be put on the sidewalk to make travel thereon reasonably safe and shall then, as soon thereafter as weather permits, remove or cause to be removed all accumulation of snow or ice within 24 hours.
