§ 58-23. Snow removal in C-2 and C-4 commercial districts; penalty for violation.
Latest version.
Every individual, partnership, association, corporation, or other business entity
in charge or control of any building or lot within the C-2 and C-4 commercial zoning
districts used for office, retail, commercial, or parking purposes fronting or abutting
upon a public sidewalk, whether as owner, tenant, occupant, lessee, or otherwise,
shall remove and clear away, or cause to be removed and cleared away, all snow and
ice along the entire length and width of the sidewalk fronting or abutting upon the
office, retail, commercial building or lot. Snow and ice shall be removed within 24
hours after the cessation of any fall of snow, sleet, or freezing rains; provided,
however, that if snow and ice on a sidewalk has become so hard that it cannot reasonably
be removed without damaging the sidewalk, the person or entity charged with its removal
under this section shall, within the 24-hour time period, cause a reasonable amount
of sand, salt, or other abrasive to be placed upon the entire sidewalk in order to
make pedestrian travel thereon reasonably safe; and as soon thereafter as weather
permits, such person or entity shall effect the removal of snow and ice as provided
for in this section.
