No sidewalk along the public right-of-way shall be constructed

securing a permit from the approving authority or authorities, and
all walks so constructed shall comply with the rules and regulations
of the Borough, including the Development Regulations Ordinance of
the Borough of Rocky Hill.[1]

Editor's Note: The Development Regulations Ordinance
is on file in the Borough offices.
The Borough Engineer shall be directed, as a part of the regular
duties of said office, to make a periodic inspection of the sidewalks
along the streets or highways in the Borough and make a report to
the Borough Council listing any such sidewalk that is in need of repair
or reconstruction. The Council shall, upon receipt of said inspection
report, determine those sidewalks that are to be repaired or reconstructed.
The cost of the repair or reconstruction of existing sidewalks
along the streets or highways of the Borough shall be met out of the
general revenue of the Borough, as long as the wear is the result
of normal use, and is not the result of willful damage or of construction
on the property adjacent to the sidewalk that was performed for, or
by, the owner of the adjoining property, in which case the adjoining
property owner shall be responsible for the cost of all repairs.
Violations of the provisions of Article II shall be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article I, General Penalty, herein. Each violation shall be considered a separate offense. Each day's continued violation shall be treated as a separate offense subject to a separate penalty.
