Editor's Note: Section 1 of this local law, which did not specifically amend the Code, contained the following definition: "SIDEWALK — That portion of a street between the curblines and the adjacent property lines intended for use by pedestrians and commonly limited to nonvehicles, as the term 'vehicle' is defined by § 159 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law."
The owners and occupants of properties adjoining sidewalks commonly used by the public in the Village of Brewster shall keep such sidewalks in repair and free and completely clear of snow, ice, dirt and other obstructions. With respect to the clearing of snow and ice removal, such must be removed within 24 hours after the period in which such snow or ice has accumulated. All other repairs and maintenance shall be performed within a reasonable time period.
For the purposes of this article, "obstructions" shall be deemed to include but not be limited to boxes, crates, carts, bags, cartons and packages.
In default of such repair or removal of obstructions as required, the Village may effect such repair or removal at the expense of such owners or occupants, and the charges therefor shall be a lien upon the premises until paid.
This article shall replace and completely render null and void Local Law Number 2 of 2001.
