Could be false. If the sidewalk is covered after 24 hours, the city has the right to clear the sidewalk, but this isn’t a guarantee that the city will actually do it. It could be the case that the city doesn’t clear someone’s sidewalk (and that they wouldn’t be billed).

Could be false. If the sidewalk is covered by snow after 24 hours, the city has the right to clear it, but the city isn’t required to do so. If the sidewalk isn’t cleared after 48 hours, the landowner is cited, but this doesn’t guarantee that the sidewalk will be cleared.

Could be false, for two reasons. First, this answer is about landowners who don't clear their own sidewalks, but the stimulus triggers citations based on whether the sidewalk has been cleared by anyone. Since the city may clear a sidewalk any time after the 24-hour mark, a landowner who never lifts a shovel can still end up with a cleared sidewalk within 48 hours, and so receive no citation and no fine. (Or, the snow might melt on its own even if the landowner doesn't do any clearing.) Second, even for the landowners who do get cited, citations result in fines only "unless the landowner can demonstrate extenuating circumstances." Nothing rules out the possibility that nearly all of these landowners can demonstrate extenuating circumstances, in which case nearly all of them could avoid fines.

Could be false. The bill comes from performing the service of clearing the sidewalk; it is still the case that if these landowners receive the service of the city clearing their sidewalks, then they will be billed.
