[Adopted 8-17-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-892]
A.
Maintenance and repair of sidewalks and curbs shall be the responsibility
of the abutting property owner. Sidewalks and curbs installed by the
Borough must be maintained and repaired in kind as installed by the
Borough. Should the abutting property owner or owners fail to maintain
and repair the sidewalks and curbs which are their responsibility,
and should such failure be reported to the Borough Engineer by the
Borough official having jurisdiction of the matter, then, in such
event, the Borough Engineer or his/her designee shall, by notice,
direct that the sidewalks, curbs or any parts thereof be repaired
by and at the cost of said abutting property owner or owners, within
30 days of a receipt by such owner or owners of the notice. Repairs
of said sidewalks and curbs require a permit, which is to be obtained
from the Department of Code Enforcement and Inspections. There shall
be no fee charged for the issuance of said permit.
B.
The notice shall be served upon said abutting owner or owners by
delivery to the premises. Said notice shall state that, unless said
owner or owners complete the repairs in the manner required by Borough
ordinance and in the time directed in the notice, the Borough will
make or cause to be made the repairs at the cost of said abutting
owner or owners.
C.
In case any such owner or owners of the real estate abutting the
sidewalk or curbs which are required to be repaired shall neglect
or refuse to cause said repairs to be completed within 30 days, then
the Borough Engineer may cause such repairs to be made and the expenses
thereof shall be a lien against the property abutting the sidewalks
and curbs to be repaired, all in accordance with the applicable statutes
of the State of New Jersey, in such case made and provided.
