In the event a property owner fails to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of his property in accordance with Section 907.03, a notice of violation shall be issued by the Borough and sent to the property owner by certified mail and regular First Class Mail. The property owner shall take the steps necessary to correct such violation(s) within a reasonable period of time but in no case shall any violation remain uncorrected for a period of more than thirty days from the date of the notice of violation. Failure to comply shall subject the property owner to the penalties contained in Section 907.99. If the property owner continues to fail to comply with such notice, the government unit with control over the street (whether in fee or by easement) may make the necessary repairs, remove any obstructions or eliminate any hazard to pedestrian safety. In the event that the government unit making the repairs is not the Borough, the Borough may reimburse that government unit for the cost of the same. When the Borough has incurred the costs or reimbursed another government unit for such costs, those costs together with a penalty of ten percent (10%) and attorney’s fees shall be paid by the delinquent property owner and be collected by Civil Action or the Borough may file a municipal lien against the property.
