(a) In all cases where there has been heretofore established or where there is hereafter established, one or more sidewalks along any street or alley or part thereof within the Town, it shall be the duty of the owners or occupants of any house, ground, parcel, piece of land, or building fronting or abutting such sidewalks to pave the same and to keep such sidewalks in repair and to keep the same clean and free of disrepair or debris.
(b) Such property owners shall be responsible for any such sidewalk being out of repair. Failure to maintain sidewalks will result in the Town of Star City undertaking such repair or remedy and charging back to the property owner. If any person sustains an injury to his person or property by reason of any such sidewalk being out of repair, the adjoining or abutting property owner shall be held liable in tort for such damages to another. Alternatively, should the Town be called upon to make such payment to a third party, the Town will look to the adjoining/abutting landowner for contribution and indemnity.
