Property owners are responsible for all necessary maintenance
on sidewalks adjacent to their property and shall keep them in reasonably
good and safe repair regardless of the type of sidewalk.
Defective sidewalks are any:
A. Irregular surfaces. Whose surface is peeling or crumbling, or has
gaps, holes, depressions, breaks, projections or other irregularities.
B. Uneven blocks. With ridges or gaps or differences in elevation between
adjoining sections.
C. Not level. With sections that are not level, except for handicap
ramps, driveway approaches or similar situations.
Contractors shall make sidewalk permits available for inspection
by the Public Works Superintendent or his agent.
When a program, as set by resolution of the Village Board, is
in effect to share the cost of sidewalk repair with residents, repair
of a defective sidewalk through participation in that program shall
constitute compliance with this article.
