§ 58-3. Construction and repair of sidewalks; duty of property owner; procedure upon failure of owner.

It shall be the duty of the city council to designate certain streets or parts of streets where sidewalks shall be constructed and maintained at the expense of the owner of the real estate along which such sidewalk shall be constructed and maintained. The owners of real estate within the city shall construct and always keep in good repair, at their own expense, good and substantial sidewalks around their lots, which shall always be the width prescribed by the city, and upon their failure to do so, the city shall notify them of such neglect, and if not done by them in 30 days, the city shall have the work done at the expense of the owner of the lot, which shall be a lien on the lot and be enforced in the same manner as mechanics' liens. The notice shall be in writing and specify the kind of sidewalk to be built or the repairs to be made.
