§ 12.04.060. Repairs.

A.

All public street, alley and sidewalk pavement shall be kept in good repair. Such repair work, whether done by the city or by the abutting owner shall be under the supervision of the superintendent of streets and alleys.

B.

All sidewalks not kept in good and proper repair and which are in a dangerous condition are declared to be a nuisance. A determination that a sidewalk is not in good repair and is in a dangerous condition shall be made by the superintendent of streets and alleys. Upon such determination, notice shall be given to the abutting owner of the dangerous condition of said sidewalk. Said sidewalk shall be put in good condition and repair or replaced, as determined by the superintendent of streets and alleys, as soon as possible. The cost of such repair shall be divided equally between the city and the abutting owner. If the abutting owner, after being notified of the dangerous condition of said sidewalk, and being required to abate such nuisance, fails and refuses to do so, the city may take such action as it deems necessary to put the sidewalk into a good and safe condition and charge one-half of such expense to the abutting owner.
