(A) Every owner of a residential or commercial property within the Village which contains, abuts or fronts on a paved public sidewalk, shall remove and clear away, or cause to be removed and cleared away, snow, after at least 2 inches of snow has accumulated, and also accumulations of ice, sleet, or freezing rain. After initial clearance, the responsible person shall maintain the sidewalk in a reasonably clear condition.
(B) When snow, ice, or freezing rain is required to be removed, it shall be removed from the full width of the sidewalk, or at least 48 inches in area, whichever is less in width, along the entire length of the public sidewalk which is upon, fronts or abuts the property. For owners of property most closely abutting sidewalk ramps, owners shall clear the ramps in the same fashion as the sidewalk.
(C) In the event snow, ice, sleet or freezing rain on a sidewalk has become so hard that it cannot be reasonably removed without damage to the sidewalk, or is otherwise largely impractical to remove, the person responsible for said removal shall cause enough sand or other abrasive material to be put on the sidewalk to make travel thereon reasonably safe, and shall maintain the sidewalk in such condition until weather permits the owner to comply with division (A) and (B) of this section.
(D) It shall be unlawful to deposit snow onto the streets while removing snow from driveways and sidewalks, or any other real property adjacent to the property in accordance with this section.
