[Adopted 12-11-1997 by L.L.
No. 9-1997]
It shall be the duty and responsibility of every owner, lessee, occupant
or person in possession of any lot or parcel of land in the Town of Wallkill
to maintain at his own expense any sidewalk abutting such lot or parcel in
a clean and safe condition and in a good state of repair.
If the Commissioner of Public Works or his duly designated representative
shall find any such sidewalk in any unclean condition or in a state of disrepair,
he shall serve on any such person, either personally or by mail, a notice
stating:
A.
The location, by reference to post office address or
tax lot number, of the particular sidewalk in question.
B.
The particular cleaning or repair to be performed.
C.
The time following the receipt of such notice within
which such cleaning or repairs shall be completed, which shall not be less
than 24 hours in the case of cleaning and not less than six days in the case
of repair.
If any such person shall fail to perform and complete such cleaning
or repair work within the time specified in said notice, the town may cause
such cleaning or repairs to be performed and assess the expense therefor upon
the abutting premises, which expense shall be a lien against such premises.
[Amended 6-20-2001 by L.L.
No. 3-2001]
In the event that a third party is injured as the result of the abutting owner's failure to keep said sidewalk in a clean condition or failure to keep said sidewalk in repair, said abutting owner shall be liable to said third party for any damages resulting therefrom in any lawsuit or claim filed with regard thereto regardless of whether notice was provided to the abutting owner per § 205-15 herein.
