In the event any sidewalk or driveway entrance shall become out of repair, and the property owner, agent or occupant has not upon his or her own initiative repaired it, the town may serve a notice upon the owner of the property adjacent to the sidewalk or driveway entrance so out of repair, if he or she be a resident, or upon his or her agents or the occupant if the owner is a nonresident, requiring the owner, agent or occupant to repair or rebuild, where necessary, any such sidewalk or driveway entrance within a time stated in the notice. In the event of the failure of the property owner, or his or her agent or the occupant to rebuild or repair the sidewalk or driveway entrance within the specified time, the town may have the work done and may assess the cost thereof against the abutting land owner, and the cost thereof may be collected by the Recorder to Treasurer as hereinafter provided. Except where a dangerous condition exists in such sidewalk or driveway, the property owner, agent or occupant shall not be required to begin repair or rebuilding within less than ten days from the date of the receipt of such notice.
