(a) Sidewalks to be Cleared. The occupant of every lot or premises adjoining any street, or the owner of such lot or premises if the same are not occupied, shall clear all ice and snow from sidewalks adjoining such lot or premises within the time required in this section. When snow or ice ceases to fall during daylight hours, such snow or ice shall be cleared from the sidewalks within twelve hours after such cessation. When snow or ice ceases to fall during the night time, it shall be cleared from the sidewalks by 6:00 p.m. of the following day.
(1974 Code § 4.65)
(b) Failure to Clear. If any occupant or owner neglects or fails to clear ice or snow from the sidewalk adjoining his or her premises within the time set forth in subsection (a) hereof, or otherwise permits ice or snow to accumulate on such sidewalk, he or she shall be guilty of a violation of this section, and in addition, the Director of Public Services may cause the same to be cleared and the expense of removal shall become a debt to the City from the occupant or owner of such premises, and shall be collected as any other debt to the City.
(1974 Code § 4.66)
(c) Limitation on Accumulation. No occupant or owner of any premises shall, in the process of clearing ice and/or snow from sidewalks, or from approaches, driveways or any other portion of such lot or premises, shovel, plow or in any other way place or accumulate such ice and/or snow on any public right of way to a height such that the same interferes with a clear view, right or left, from the premises or any side street onto any intersecting or cross street. No accumulation of ice and/or snow shall be made on any private lot or premises such that the same interferes with a clear view, right or left, from such premises or any side street onto any intersecting or cross street. In no event shall any accumulation of ice and/or snow, in either of such instances, exceed thirty inches from the curb level of the adjacent street.
(d) Excess Accumulations. If any occupant or owner of premises accumulates ice and/or snow, as prohibited in subsection (c) hereof, the Director of Public Services may cause the excess accumulation of ice and/or snow to be cleared at the expense of the occupant or owner. The same shall become a debt to the City and shall be collected as any other debt to the City, including, but not limited to, spreading on the City tax rolls.
