All owners or agents of owners with property abutting and fronting upon any plaza, street, or alley within the corporate limits of the city are required to keep the public sidewalks immediately abutting their property in good order and repair. Each such owner shall be liable to the city for all losses to the city or recoveries from the city for damages to person or property of others caused by his or her failure or that of his or her agents to repair and keep in good order and reasonably safe condition all such sidewalks abutting and fronting his or her property upon any plaza, street, or alley within the corporate limits of the city. The city may, at its discretion, through the Director of Public Works, notify such owner that repairs are necessary to put such sidewalk in good order and such owner shall, within ten days after such notification, under the supervision of the Director of Public Works, complete such repairs, as specified in such notice. If the person fails to make the required repairs, the city may repair same and the owner shall be liable to the city for the cost of the repairs. If the cost of repairs has not been paid in full to the city the sum of the unpaid repairs shall be assessed against the real estate in the same manner and to the extent as property taxes.
