(A) Upon failure of the persons responsible under § 91.42 to complete repair of the blocks of sidewalk or the sidewalk area within the time specified, the city may undertake, without further notification to the owner to make such repairs at the expense of the persons responsible. Upon completion of the work by the city, the city shall notify and bill the responsible persons for the costs therein incurred, plus an administration charge equal to 20% of the costs. This total charge together with interest at 6% per annum on the unpaid balance commencing from the date of the bill until paid shall be due and owing to the city by the responsible persons and shall constitute and be a lien on the real estate to secure payment in full. If payment is made in full within 30 days after the date of the bill, interest will be waived and a discount equal to 10% of the total charges shall be credited against the bill.
(B) If any sum due hereunder is not paid within 30 days after the date of the bill, the sum shall then become subject to interest and penalty the same as for ad valorem real estate taxes and shall be collected in the same manner and by the same methods and remedies as ad valorem city taxes.
