Truckee Municipal Code Ch. 13.05 Sidewalk Maintenance

It shall be the duty of all owners, and their tenants, of real property within the Town whose property borders any improved sidewalk to maintain the sidewalk in a safe condition for its use by pedestrians and other members of the public. The duty created by the ordinance shall include the duty to keep the sidewalk free and clear of all dirt, sand, gravel, filth, rubbish, ice and snow.

If, as the result of the failure of the landowner and/or tenant to keep the sidewalk maintained in a safe condition, any person while exercising ordinary care to avoid the danger and who suffers damage to his person or property though any unsafe conditions on the adjoining improved sidewalk, shall have recourse for damages thus suffered against the landowner and/or tenant failing to maintain the sidewalk in a safe condition.
