(a) In addition to the requirements of other applicable ordinances, every property owner and/or occupant of real estate in the City abutting a roadway shall be required to maintain a sidewalk in good repair.
The Service Director shall determine what is good repair, and shall compile a list of defective sidewalks as provided in Section 903.03.
(b) On any claim presented for bodily injury or property damage on the sidewalk, the adjoining or abutting property owner shall be held liable in tort for such damages to another. Alternatively, should the City of Garfield Heights be called upon to make such payments to a third party, the City will look to the adjoining/abutting landowner for contribution and indemnity. (Ord. 6-2003. Passed 1-27-03.)
