(a) The owner, occupant or any person having the care of any building, lot or land abutting on any street, square or other public way within the City, where there is a sidewalk in front of or alongside of the same, shall, within the first four hours after daylight after snow has ceased to fall, cause such snow to be removed from such sidewalk. The provisions of this section shall also apply to the falling of snow or ice from buildings upon such sidewalks.
(b) Whenever the sidewalk or any part thereof adjoining any building, lot or land on any street is encumbered with sleet and ice, it shall be the duty of the owner, occupant or any person having care of any such building or lot to cause such sidewalk to be made safe and convenient by removing the ice therefrom or by covering the same with sand, salt or other suitable substances.
(c) The Code Official shall have the authority to temporarily suspend the obligations of this section only on a city-wide basis when the Mayor determines it is appropriate to do so because of impossibility, impracticality, irrelevance to existing circumstances, likelihood of short-term future resolution, other demonstrable inability to comply, hardship, or for other good cause as determined by the Code Official.
