Should the owner of any property fail to construct or repair any sidewalk, curb or driveway within 30 days after written notification to do so from the Director of Public Works, the Director may cause the work to be done and certify the costs to the City Solicitor for collection as provided for by law. Nonpayment of the costs subjects the property to a lien upon the premises from the time of commencement of the work, which date shall be determined by the certificate of the Director of Public Works stating the starting and completion date of the work on file in the Department of Public Works.
