If the owner installs the sidewalk within 120 days of issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, the bond or certified check shall be returned to the owner. If the owner does not install the sidewalk within the 120 days of issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, the Finance Director shall proceed against the bond or cash the check, and the sidewalk shall forthwith be installed by the City under the supervision of the Code Administrator.
