(A) It shall be the duty of all owners of property abutting or adjacent to any sidewalk or curb, whether the sidewalk or curb is in a pubic way or subject to public easement, to maintain the sidewalks and driveway aprons in good repair, and to clear all growth of grass and weeds within the sidewalk and apron.
(B) It shall be the duty of every owner, occupant, or agent of any building or property fronting or abutting a pubic street, to cut and keep trimmed the grass or ground cover within the right-of-way area lying between the street and/or roadway curb and their property line. Any vegetation, other than sod or grass, may not be planted without the written approval of the town. It shall be unlawful to plant any vegetation that will achieve a height above 12 inches between a sidewalk and curb that is less than six feet wide. The town shall have the authority to immediately remove any unapproved or illegally planted vegetation from the median at the property owner's expense.
(C) If the Mayor and Council of the town finds that necessary repairs or maintenance are not being made, they shall notify the property owners at fault, in writing, as to the nature of the corrective action required. If, at the end of 30 days, the property owners involved have not taken corrective action, the Mayor and Council may authorize improvements and assess liens against the property involved, the liens to be collected in accordance with the procedure specified in § 17(hh) of the Municipal Charter of the town.
