(A) The owner, occupant or tenant of every property fronting upon or alongside of any of the streets or other public ways in the borough is hereby required to remove or cause to be removed from all of the sidewalks in front of or alongside of such property all snow, ice, hail or sleet thereon fallen or formed, to a minimum width of 48 inches, within 24 hours after the same shall have ceased to fall or to form. In the absence of a sidewalk, the owner, occupant or tenant of the property fronting along any street or public way shall clear a path on a grass plot or surface adjacent to the street or public way. No such snow, ice, hail or sleet removed as herein provided shall be deposited in or on any street, road, alley, sidewalk, or public way used for public travel. The owner of a property shall be responsible for conforming to the requirements of this section where such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied; the tenant or occupier thereof, where such property is occupied by such tenant or occupier only; and the owner thereof where the property is a multiple-business or multiple-dwelling property, occupied by more than one tenant or occupier.
(B) In any case where the owner, occupant or tenant as aforesaid, shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with any of the provisions of division (A) above within the time limit prescribed therein, the borough authorities may proceed immediately to clear all snow, ice, hail and/or sleet from the sidewalk of such delinquents, and to collect the expenses there of, with any additional amount allowed by law, from such owner, occupant or tenant, as the case may be, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under § 94.99.
