(A) The Public Safety Administrator or designee shall, by public notice to owners, managers and/or lessees of any lot abutting upon any sidewalk, require all snow and ice on the sidewalk to be removed per city ordinance. The public notice may be given generally by one annual publication in the official newspaper of the city.
(B) The public notice shall provide that each owner, manager or lessee of all lots abutting upon any sidewalk within the city shall maintain the sidewalk to avoid slippery conditions at all times and shall have all sidewalks clear of snow and ice no less than 24 hours after snowfall, and shall further provide that in case of failure to comply the city will cause the same to be shoveled or cleared and assess the cost thereof and any applicable fines and administrative fees against the owner, manager or lessee. One public notice shall be sufficient for the winter season.
(C) The city shall attempt to contact the owner, manager or lessee of properties in violation prior to the city causing the shoveling or clearing thereof. Failure to actually make contact with the owner, manager or lessee shall not prohibit the city from enforcing this subchapter.
(D) During any one winter season, the attempt to contact the owner, manager or lessee will not be made if two or more violations have occurred. Upon the third winter seasonal violation, the city will cause the nuisance to be abated without notice and will continue to the same, for the winter season, for each subsequent violation.
