Sec. 30-25. Same—Defective covers.
Whenever the owner or occupant of any building to which
is attached any area, cellar, vault, fuel or coal hole opening
in the sidewalk shall be notified by the city manager that the
covering thereof is insecure or dangerous, it shall be his duty
at once to repair the same. Each day of default after the
expiration of five days shall constitute a separate offense. In
case of failure to repair within five days, the city manager
may cause such repairs to be made at the cost of the city, and
the cost thereof, with any fine imposed by the court, shall be
collected of the party in default in like manner as fines and
assessments are collected. The owner and occupant of such
building shall be responsible for damages to persons or property
caused by such defective covers. (Code 1959, § 30-25.)
