Sidewalk openings must be covered with a door or doors constructed to meet current ADA accessibility guidelines.

No person may allow any sidewalk opening to be or remain open, except when the opening is actually in use.

When in use, the sidewalk opening must be provided with doors that swing outward and upward into a perpendicular position; the doors must be held in that position by two parallel bars securely fastened across the end of each door nearest the center of the sidewalk; one bar must be positioned at the top of each door and one at half of the distance between the upper bar and the sidewalk on each door, provided that a chain may be used instead of the lower bar.
