When any sidewalk, curb and/or gutter in front or alongside of any lot or premises has been destroyed or is out of repair, as determined by the Town Engineer, the Town Engineer shall cause notice in writing to be served upon the owner or agent in charge of such premises to repair such sidewalk, curb and/or gutter within thirty (30) days. If the owner is a nonresident or his or her whereabouts are unknown, such notice may be given by publication twice, one (1) week apart, in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town and by the Town Clerk’s mailing a copy of such notice to the last known address of such owner. Service shall be complete on the last day of publication. If such repairs are not made by the owner within thirty (30) days after perfected service of the notice, the Town Engineer may order such repairs to be made by the Public Works Department or by contract with an outside company, with all expenses connected therewith to become a lien upon the property alongside such sidewalks, curbs and/or gutters until the cost thereof is fully paid. When such repairs are made by the Town, the expense thereof shall be assessed by the Town Clerk upon the property fronting upon the same, and if the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Town Clerk shall certify such assessment and costs permitted by statute to the County Treasurer who shall collect such amounts in the same manner as other taxes are collected, with ten percent (10%) penalty thereon to defray the cost of collection. (Ord. 1006 § 1, 2009)
