Sec. 30-40. Sidewalks in front of premises to be kept clean.[406]

It shall be unlawful for any person to sweep dirt or trash
from the interior of the store or premises occupied by him
upon the sidewalk. All such dirt or trash shall be taken up
and put in proper receptacles for removal.

It shall be the duty of all persons occupying stores or premise
fronting on any street to keep the sidewalk immediately
in front thereof clean and clear of rubbish, trash, waste paper,
filth, etc., and they shall not sweep the same into the roadway
of the street but shall take up the same and put it in proper
receptacles to be removed as other trash, waste paper, filth,
etc., is removed. During dry weather, sidewalks shall be
sprinkled with water before sweeping, so as to prevent dust
from flying into faces of pedestrians. In case of office buildings,
