(a) In cases where permanent control facilities are owned by a private entity or an individual, such entity or individual shall be responsible for maintenance. In this case a legally binding agreement between the entity or individual and the City of York shall be made providing for maintenance of all permanent control facilities, including the inspection by the City of York of all such facilities, deemed critical to the public welfare annually and after each major flood event. The agreement shall be recorded by the Recorder of Deeds in the Office of the York County Recorder of Deeds.
(b) If the City of York determines at any time that any permanent storm water management or erosion and sedimentation control facility has been eliminated, altered or improperly maintained, the owner of the property shall be advised of corrective measures required and given a reasonable period of time to take necessary action. If such action is not taken by the property owner, the City of York may cause the work to be done and lien all costs against the property. (Ord. 13-1981 §1. Passed 5-20-81.)
