(A) (1) Should any person so notified fail to repair or replace, as requested, that sidewalk, crosswalk or driveway within the time required, it shall be the duty of the City Engineer and the city, acting through the City Council, to so order him or her to repair or reconstruct that sidewalk, crosswalk or driveway.
(2) The cost, expense and penalties involved in the repair when made by the city shall be charged to the defaulting owner, occupant or party in interest. Accordingly, within ten days after the completion of the repair by the city, the City Engineer shall advise the City Clerk-Treasurer in writing as to the total cost of the work; and the City Clerk-Treasurer shall thereupon render to the owner, occupant or party in interest an itemized statement of the repair costs, including a fee of $1.50 for the services of the City Clerk-Treasurer.
(B) The owner, occupant or party in interest shall have a period of 30 days within which to pay the bill after receipt of same from the City Clerk-Treasurer. In event of non-payment within that period, a 15% penalty shall be added to the itemized bill, and interest shall accrue to the amount of the bill, exclusive of penalty, at the rate of 6% per year until paid; and suit may be instituted by the City Attorney in any court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery of all amounts so owed.
