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.
