§ 95.83 SIDEWALK REPAIR.
   Whenever the City Manager shall determine that a sidewalk is unsafe for use, notice may be given to the owner of the lot or premises adjacent to and abutting upon said sidewalk of such determination, which notice shall be given in accordance with this code. Thereafter, it shall be the duty of the owner to place the sidewalk in a safe condition. The notice shall specify a reasonable time, not less than seven days, within which such work shall be commenced and shall further provide that the work shall be completed with due diligence. If the owner of the lot or premises shall refuse or neglect to repair any sidewalk within the time limited therefor, or in a manner otherwise than in accordance with this chapter, the City Manager shall have the sidewalk repaired. If the City Manager determines that the condition of the sidewalk is such that immediate repair is necessary to protect the public, he may dispense with the notice. The cost of repairs hereunder shall be charged against the premises which the sidewalk adjoins and the owner of the premises and shall be collected as provided for single lot assessments.
