If the owner does not maintain sidewalks as required, the City may serve notice on such owner, by certified mail, requiring the owner to repair, replace or reconstruct defective sidewalks within a reasonable time and if such action is not completed within the time stated in the notice, the City may perform the required action and assess the costs against the abutting property for collection in the same manner as property tax. If the City is required to repair, replace or reconstruct defective sidewalks after notice, this action shall not release or relieve the owner of liability imposed by this Chapter.
