A. Pavements To Be In Good Repair, Supervision: All public street, alley and sidewalk pavements shall be kept in good repair. Such repair work, whether done by the village or by the abutting owner, in case of sidewalks, shall be done under the supervision of the director of public works and water.
B. Defects Reported: It shall be the duty of any village employee or officer becoming cognizant of any defect in any street, alley or sidewalk, or any obstruction thereof, to report the same to the director of public works and water as soon as possible.
C. Deposit Required; Restoration: Any person to whom a building permit is issued shall make a deposit of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each permit that is issued for property on which building operations are to be carried on, to ensure the maintenance of the streets in a safe condition and to ensure its complete restoration after the completion of the building. Whenever any pavement, curb, parkway, sidewalk or other public structure thereof is broken, the same shall be restored at the expense of the party who obtained the permit to a condition as good and as serviceable as prior to the beginning of the work. The village shall have the privilege and election of restoring, or of contracting out the work of restoring, the street, curb, parkway or sidewalk to its prior condition. Upon the restoration as hereinbefore mentioned, so much of the deposit as shall have been expended by the village for the restoration shall be retained by the village and the remainder of the deposit, if any, shall then be returned to the applicant of the building permit; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall preclude the village from maintaining an action against the person to recover the damage done to any pavement, curb, parkway, sidewalk or other public structure.
