  • The commissioner of public works shall inspect the sidewalks along public right-of-way, to maintain the sidewalks thereon in a safe and suitable condition for public use and travel, to condemn promptly pavements on such sidewalks that are unsafe or unsuitable for public travel, and to cause repairs to be made in accordance with city law and to charge the cost of the repair to the abutting property; provided however that where funding is identified, applicable and available for implementation of repairs by the city, such repairs shall be undertaken by the city upon a prioritized basis until the funding is exhausted. The absence of city funding shall not excuse the abutting property owner from the requirements of this section.
