Editor's Note: Section 1024.03 was repealed by Ord. 535,

All sidewalks and curbs shall be constructed, reconstructed
and repaired with concrete only, according to specifications determined
from time to time by the Borough Engineer.
[Ord. 187, passed 11-14-1961]
All sidewalks constructed in the Borough shall extend from the
building line and shall be at least four feet wide.
In all cases where sidewalks and curbs are constructed, reconstructed
or repaired over an excavation or other weak or unsupported ground,
such sidewalks and curbs shall be supported by iron or steel beams
or girders, or stone or concrete arches. In no case shall any support
of wood or perishable material be used.
Grading for sidewalk and curb construction, reconstruction or
repair shall be upon the line and grade obtained by the property owner
from the Borough Engineer and not otherwise.
[Ord. 535, passed 7-16-1990]
The Borough Engineer, the Code Enforcement Officer or the Building
Inspector shall determine, in the case of individual property, whether
or not the sidewalk and curb thereof shall be reconstructed or repaired
and, if so, the specific part or parts thereof to be reconstructed
or repaired. The Borough Engineer, the Code Enforcement Officer or
the Building Inspector may, at any time during the course of the work
of constructing, reconstructing or repairing any sidewalk or curb,
visit the site of such work to ascertain whether such work is being
done and according to requirements. They or one of their assistants
shall visit any such site for any such purpose whenever requested
by the property owner. Within two days after the completion of the
work of construction, reconstruction or repair of any sidewalk or
curb, the owner of the property where such work was done shall notify
the Borough Engineer, the Code Enforcement Officer or the Building
Inspector of that fact, so that the sidewalk or curb may be inspected.
Any property owner, upon his or her own initiative and without
notice from any Borough authority, may construct, reconstruct or repair
a sidewalk or curb in front of, in the rear of or alongside his or
her property, provided that such owner first makes application to
the Borough Engineer and conforms to the requirements of this chapter
as to line and grade and material used, and that he or she also notifies
the Engineer, as required by § 1024.08, within two days
after completion of the work. Such property owner shall obtain a permit
from the Building Inspector prior to commencing any work.

No person shall erect or construct a dwelling, building or other
structure, or make any major alteration thereto, on any street or

as to require the construction of sidewalks and curbs under this section.
