Such owner, occupant, or agent of the owner shall remove snow and ice from such surfaces, infrastructure systems, and sidewalks as soon as possible following a snowfall. Accumulation of snow or ice in any snowfall event, regardless of month or time frame, shall be removed no later than eighteen (18) hours after every snowfall.
