(A) All owners or agents of owners with property abutting and fronting upon a 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.
(B) Each 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 safe condition all sidewalks abutting and fronting his or her property upon any street or alley within the corporate limits of the city.
(C) The city may, at its discretion, through the City Street Superintendent or the City Clerk/Administrator, notify the owners that repairs are necessary to put the sidewalk in good order and the owner shall within 60 days after the notification, under the supervision of the City Street Superintendent, complete the repairs as specified in the notice.
(D) If the person fails to make the required repairs, the city may repair the same and the owner shall be liable to the city for the cost of the repairs and the expense thereof shall be paid by the owner and if unpaid, it will be made a special assessment against the abutting property. A permit shall be required to make repairs pursuant to this section; however, there will be no charge for a like permit.
