Each owner of any lot or parcel of ground in the City shall cause the sidewalks, curbs, and gutters and every part thereof in front of, along side, or abutting the lot or parcel to be kept in good repair and free from any nuisance. Repairs shall be made by order of the City Project Director and shall be supervised by him or his authorized representative.
The City Project Director is hereby authorized, ordered, and directed to serve notice on owners of land to repair all sidewalks, curbs, or gutters or parts thereof, abutting on such land, within not less than thirty days of the service of the notice. Notice shall be served by certified mail addressed to the owner at his last known address or to the address to which tax bills are sent or, if it appears by the return of service that one or more of the owners cannot be found, the owners shall be served by publication of the notice once in a newspaper of general circulation within the Municipal corporation.
If the owner of such land fails to comply with the notice or to cause the repairs to be completed in accordance with the provisions of this article, the City Project Manager shall cause the sidewalks, curbs, or gutters, or parts thereof, to be repaired and assess the costs thereof against the lots and lands abutting thereon.
No person shall repair or construct any sidewalk, curb, or gutter, or a portion thereof, within the City without first obtaining a permit therefor. Applications for permits shall be made to the City Clerk. The fee for such permit shall be as established in the City of Spencer Building Code.
