Every person owning real estate in the city is charged with a responsibility of maintaining and shall maintain and keep in proper repair at his or her expense, that portion of the sidewalk which parallels and/or abuts the street or streets and/or lies within the street rights-of-way immediately in front of, alongside of, or in the rear of the person’s estate.
(B) Every such property owner shall repair all holes, uneven surfaces, or other defects in said sidewalk, and he or she shall reconstruct and replace all or any part of said sidewalk that is not capable of ordinary restoration or repair. The material used for such repair, replacement, or reconstruction shall be of the similar grade and texture as that used in the construction of the sidewalk, and pursuant to § 91.22.
