§ 121.17  MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES AND SURROUNDINGS.
   (A)   Sidewalks.  Every operator of a parking lot or garage shall keep the sidewalk surrounding the premises free from dirt, ice, sleet and snow, and shall keep the sidewalk and driveways in a safe condition for the travel of pedestrians.
   (B)   Dust and water.  The ground or floor space of each parking lot or garage, if made of dirt, sand, cinders or other loose mixture, shall at all times be kept thoroughly sprinkled or treated with water, calcium chloride or other means, so that the dust, sand, cinders or other substance of which said ground or floor space is made will not be raised, carried or blown by the wind, movement of vehicles, or other causes, into or upon public property, or the adjacent property of others. The surface or floor of said premises shall be constructed so as to prevent retention of water thereon.
   (C)   Handbills. It shall be unlawful for any person to distribute literature or place handbills in or upon any vehicle while parked in a parking lot or garage.
   (D)   Loading or unloading of vehicles.  The loading or unloading of passengers or drivers of vehicles across or upon a public sidewalk is hereby expressly prohibited, and any operator or employee, who by receiving or delivering vehicles other than within the property line of the parking lot or garage, aids or assists in blocking any sidewalk or street shall be deemed to have violated the provisions of this subchapter.
   (E)   Vendors prohibited.  No licensee shall sublet, sublease or otherwise permit any parking lot or garage or portion thereof to be used by any vendor of goods, wares or merchandise or services for the conduct of such vendor's business unless the same is conducted in a permanent building or structure licensed by the city for that purpose.
