Summary
In Greeley, the property owner next to a sidewalk pays for its repair -- the city engineer orders the fix and bills the adjacent owner, with a ten percent surcharge for inspection.
It shall be the duty of the city engineer... to see that the same are kept in repair and, in case any thereof become unsafe or in need of repair, to cause the same to be repaired at the expense of the adjacent property owner... If any owner, adjacent property owner or agent in charge, fails to repair or replace damaged sidewalks or curbs and gutters as required in this section within 60 days after notice, the city manager or the manager's designee may have the sidewalk or curb and gutter repaired or replaced... and charge the cost thereof to such owner.

Full Breakdown
Greeley Municipal Code § 18-6 puts sidewalks, curbs and gutters in the adjacent property owner's hands: the city engineer inspects and, when a walk becomes unsafe or needs repair, orders the owner to fix it. If the owner or their agent doesn't repair or replace the damage within 60 days of notice, the city can have the work done by a city crew or a contractor selected through competitive bids, then bill the owner the full cost plus a ten percent charge for inspection and administrative costs under § 18-7. Unpaid bills become a property lien collected with county taxes under § 18-8.
Violations & Fines
Unpaid repair assessments become a lien against the property, with priority over most other liens, and get certified to the Weld County treasurer for collection with a ten percent penalty.
