(a) If a property owner does not repair or replace a sidewalk that does not conform to the standards set forth in this chapter, the Village shall serve notice on the person whose duty it is to maintain such sidewalk, instructing that person to take appropriate corrective action by the date specified in the notice. Such notice may, at the option of the Village, be coordinated with the passage of a resolution of necessity. However, the notice shall provide not less than the minimum period of corrective action set forth in Ohio R.C. Chapter 729, and the notice shall be delivered according to that chapter.
(b) If the person whose duty it is to maintain a sidewalk neglects to construct, reconstruct, repair, reset or resurface such sidewalk within the time specified in the notice, the Village may direct the Village Administrator to repair, reconstruct, resurface or reset the sidewalk, and in such case all costs and expenses associated with the execution of the work shall, as directed by ordinance of Council, be assessed as provided in Ohio R.C. Chapter 729.
(c) If the person whose duty it is to maintain the sidewalk does not pay within the required or specified time, the Village shall have the option to place all costs upon the real estate tax duplicate.
