The owners, tenants or occupants of any premises abutting any

the City Commission by the Superintendent of Public
Works in the Department of Public Works. The
Commission shall examine such costs to be billed to the
owner of such abutting premises on which snow or ice
removal work has been performed by the City. If the cost is
not promptly paid by the owner within 15 days, the charge
shall be charged against such premises and be added to
and be part of the taxes next to be levied and collected,

§ 240-32. Casting of snow and ice.
No person, including any property owner, shall place, deposit,
or allow, or cause to place, snow or ice upon any street, road,
sidewalk or municipal right-of-way nor, without the owner's
permission, upon the lands of any property near, adjoining or
across the street from the property from which the snow and ice
has been removed. No such person shall place such snow or ice
in a manner that will obstruct or impede vehicular or
pedestrian traffic or block access to any street, road, sidewalk
or driveway. No person shall place any snow or ice upon or near
any fire hydrant. In the event that the plowing of snow or ice in
a driveway cannot reasonably be accomplished without moving
some snow or ice onto a street, road or right-of-way, such snow
or ice shall be immediately plowed back onto the property from
which it was removed.

§ 240-33. Violations and penalties.
Any such owner or occupant or other person having care of any
such property as aforesaid shall be fined a sum of not less than
$50 and not more than $250, besides costs of conviction, and a
like amount for each and every day that the snow shall remain
on such sidewalk after the 24 hours.
