(b) The notice to be served upon the property owner shall include the following information:
(1) The location of the sidewalk;
(2) Defect(s) noted and the extent of repair or replacement necessary;
(3) A statement that if the property owner does not complete the requested repair or replacement within sixty (60) days of service of the notice, the City will proceed to initiate and complete the work and certify the cost to the Lorain County Auditor for assessment against the property if it remains unpaid after thirty (30) days of service of invoice for the work performed by the City.
