§ 2:173. Notice of violation.


Latest version.
  • For the purpose of aiding in the enforcement of this part, the director of public works is hereby authorized to notify any person, either directly, or through their authorized agent, of any violation of the provisions of this part, which notice shall set forth the repairs or maintenance necessary on or to the sidewalk or pavement on or abutting their property or properties. This notice may be given either in writing or by publication in the official journal and the placing of such notice in the U.S. Mails, postage prepaid, addressed to the last record owner of the abutting property or properties, shall be sufficient. If notice is given by publication in the official journal, such notice shall set forth the names of the various persons found to be in violation of the provisions hereof, and shall generally outline the repair or maintenance work required to be done. The failure to make such repairs or to perform such maintenance within ten (10) days of the first publication of such notice in the official journal, or within ten (10) days after the above described notice is placed in the U.S. Mails, shall constitute a separate violation hereunder, and the sending or publishing of such notice shall not excuse the violation committed to continue or in anywise relieve the property owner from the obligations and responsibilities placed upon such owner by the provisions of this part.
