Every person owning or occupying any premises in the city which adjoins any sidewalk, street or other public way maintained by the city shall keep all shrubbery, bushes or any other vegetation growing on the premises trimmed so that the vegetation does not hang over the public way in such a manner as to constitute an obstruction to the public way. If the overhanging vegetation cannot be trimmed so that it does not constitute an obstruction to the public way, then the person owning or occupying the premises shall remove the overhanging vegetation in its entirety from the edge of the public way.
