All sidewalks and approaches within the City shall be kept and maintained in good repair by the owner of the land adjacent to and abutting upon it in accordance with City standards.

Whenever the City Engineer shall determine that a public sidewalk or approach is unsafe for use, or when a new public sidewalk has been deemed necessary, he/she shall give notice to the owner of the abutting property. Thereafter, it shall be the duty of said owner to cause said public sidewalk or approach to be placed in a safe condition or to cause a new public sidewalk to be built, as the case may be, in accordance with City standards. Such notice shall specify a reasonable time, not less than 20 days, within which such work shall be done. If the owner agrees or requests that the City perform the repair work, or fails to comply with said notice, the City Engineer shall cause said public sidewalk to be replaced or a new public sidewalk to be built.

Payment later than the specified dates shall result in penalties established by the City and shall be collected in the same manner in all respects as provided by law for the collection of taxes.
