Whenever any fence, structure or material shall prevent the use of any public sidewalk, the person erecting, constructing, altering or repairing the building or structure shall lay and maintain a suitable sidewalk with substantial handrails around the same or a roofed sidewalk through the same. Where such sidewalks are used, they shall not extend into a street more than one-fourth the width thereof between the curbs. In business district zones and wherever else it may be deemed necessary by the Building Inspector, such sidewalk shall be located within the width of the permanent sidewalk and shall be substantially roofed over and protected at the sides with at least a clear height of eight feet under such roof. All walls, roofs and other parts of such enclosure shall be of plank construction in a manner satisfactory to the Building Inspector. All sidewalks shall be at least four feet in the clear, and where, in the opinion of the Building Inspector, the traffic requires, he or she shall require greater width. All sidewalks roofed over shall be lighted by electric light during the night season. All such sidewalk construction shall be as prescribed by the Building Inspector.
