§ 12.08.050. Abatement of sidewalk constructed in violation of chapter as nuisance—Lien.

Any sidewalk constructed in violation of this chapter shall be deemed a nuisance and shall be abated by the City against the owner of the property upon which such sidewalk abuts and adjacent to the construction of such sidewalk. The City may proceed to reconstruct such sidewalk in conformity with the grade, width, location and construction requirements established by the Engineering Department, and the costs thereof shall be chargeable to the owner of such property. In such event, the City shall have a lien upon the property affected for the expense of such reconstruction, and such lien may be enforced and foreclosed as are other liens of like nature. For sidewalks with tripping hazards, the City may address this under a policy to remediate these hazards.
