(A) It shall be unlawful for any person, business, association, corporation, or organization of any kind, who owns, occupies, leases, or controls any property within the corporate city limits upon which a sidewalk has been constructed to allow an accumulation of snow or ice on the sidewalk at any time. In the event of a snow or ice storm, the sidewalks shall be cleaned of snow and ice 24 hours after the city completes snow removal of the street adjacent to the sidewalk. Placing snow removed from sidewalks and/or driveways onto the paved or graveled portion of any city street is prohibited.
(B) If, after proper notice is given, the tenant or property owner, whichever is applicable, fails to remove the snow or ice, the city shall cause the removal of snow or ice within three days of the property being posted or within five days of the notice being mailed. The tenant or property owner will be billed for the costs incurred to remove the snow or ice. If the costs are not paid within two months, the City Clerk/Treasurer shall cause a lien to be placed upon the property in the form of a special assessment.
