(A) Whenever the City Engineer shall deem it necessary that any sidewalk shall be repaired, or it shall be required by the Mayor and Council, the Code Enforcement Officer shall notify the owner of the lot or piece of land along and contiguous to which the sidewalk is situated to repair the sidewalk within 24 hours from and after the giving of the notice. Oral notice to the owner shall be deemed sufficient. If the owner is not found by the City Engineer, then a written notice left in the house situated on the lot or piece of ground, or posted upon the premises, shall be sufficient, and the 24 hours shall begin to run from the leaving or posting up of the notice, as the case may be.
(B) Whenever the mayor and council shall deem it necessary that an old sidewalk shall be widened, replaced or reconstructed, it shall order the work to be done, and the City Engineer shall give notice in the manner and form provided in division (A) of this section to widen, replace or reconstruct the sidewalk within 30 days from and after the notice.
