Chapter 12.04 — STREETS AND SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE

The owners of lots or portions of lots fronting on any portion of a public street or place when that street is improved or if and when the area between the property line of the adjacent property and the street line is maintained as a part or parking strip, shall maintain any sidewalk in such condition that the sidewalk will not endanger third persons or the general public.

Further by this chapter such adjacent landholders shall have a duty of care to third persons and the general public and express liability to third persons and the general public for sidewalk injuries, including but not limited to slips and falls and other injuries occurring because of such adjacent property owner's lack of maintenance of the sidewalks.
