When the City Council deems it necessary to construct, rebuild, or repair any sidewalk in the city, it shall notify the owners of lots adjoining the sidewalks to construct, build, or repair the sidewalk at his or her own expense with a designated time. The written notice shall be served personally or by certified mail, return receipt, or by publication, once in each week for two consecutive weeks. If the sidewalk is not constructed, reconstructed, or repaired in a manner or within the time prescribed in the notice, the City Council may cause the work to be done by the hour or by the job, assess the cost of the work against the lots fronting or abutting upon the sidewalk as provided by SDCL 9-46-4 through 9-46-9.
