[Amended 4-21-2022 by L.L. No. 2-2022]
No person owning and/or occupying any premises shall allow any
sidewalk, path and/or public thoroughfare in front of or contiguous
to such premises to become or remain in any condition which might
reasonably endanger any person after receiving actual or constructive
notice thereof. If such sidewalk, path and/or public thoroughfare
shall not have been repaired or put in a safe condition within a reasonable
time after receipt of such actual or constructive notice, the Board
of Trustees may serve a notice upon the owner or occupant of such
premises specifying the place, manner and time, not less than 24 hours,
within which said sidewalk, path or public thoroughfare is required
to be repaired or put in a safe condition. If the owner and/or occupant
of such premises shall not repair the sidewalk, path and/or thoroughfare
within the time required by the notice, the Board of Trustees may
cause the sidewalk, path and/or public thoroughfare to be repaired
or to be otherwise put in a safe condition and assess the expense
thereof upon the adjoining land, and such assessment shall be made
and collected in the same manner as the making and collection of any
other assessment as prescribed by the provisions of the Village Law.
