(A) If sidewalks, curbs or gutters are not constructed or repaired within 30 days from the date of service of the notice provided for in § 1024.06, or the date of completion of the publication thereof, the city may proceed, through the appropriate department or office, either by direct employment of labor or by contract, to carry out such construction or repair at the expense of the owner.
(B) As in the case of other improvements, all such expense shall be reported by the Director of Finance to Council.
