1/3) Some good-citizen rules for the Roman homeowner: "Every householder must keep the public street in front of their house in good repair, keep gutters clear and ensure wagons have clear access. Renters should see to this if the owner does not, and deduct costs from their rent. 
2/3) "..Nothing should be left in the street outside workshops, except for launderers who hang up fabrics and carpenters who need to place wagon wheels outside - but they must not obstruct traffic. No one should allow any fighting or disorder in front of their property...
3/3) ..It is forbidden to throw out dead animals or animal hides on the street. Any person that throws down or pours anything from their building onto the street will be fined twice the cost of any damages caused."
