No person, whether owner, lessee, tenant or occupant, of any house or building, shall
permit any water or other liquid to run or drip from or out of his building upon or
across any sidewalk. If such water or other liquid is carried to the street, it shall
be confined in pipe, tile or other enclosed passageway, which shall be constructed
of suitable strength and material underneath the surface of such sidewalk, and shall
at all times be kept in repair and adequate to handle the waters or other liquids
flowing into such street. No water, liquid or ice shall be allowed to gather, remain
or drip upon the upper surface of such sidewalk or passageway. No stormwater shall
be allowed to fall through downpipes from any building upon the sidewalks or street,
or across any sidewalk, but shall be conducted by downpipe or gutter under the sidewalk
to the street gutter; provided, however, that, it shall be lawful for such stormwaters,
when conducted to alleys, to be conducted on the surface of such alleys.
