[Adopted 10-7-1996 by L.L. No. 4-1996]
Every person, partnership, corporation, joint-stock company
or syndicate in charge or control of any building or lot of land within
the Village fronting on or abutting on a paved sidewalk, whether as
owner, tenant, occupant, lessee or otherwise, shall make, maintain
and repair the sidewalk adjoining his lands and shall keep such sidewalk
free of all obstacles.
Any owner or occupant, and each of them, shall be liable for
any injury or damage by reason of omission, failure or negligence
to make, maintain or repair such sidewalk or to remove snow, ice or
other obstructions therefrom or for a violation or nonobservance of
the ordinances relating to making, maintaining and repairing sidewalks
and the removal of snow, ice and other obstructions from sidewalks.
Whenever such owner or occupant and each of them shall omit
to make, maintain and repair the sidewalk adjoining his land and to
keep the same free and clear of and from snow, ice and all other obstructions,
the Village of Bath may cause such act to be done, and, in addition
to any fine that may be imposed, may recover by action from such owner,
the cost of doing the act or may assess the same upon such lands and
such assessment may be collected in installments as in any other assessments
for local improvements levied by the Village of Bath.
