Full Breakdown
Henderson Municipal Code Chapter 11.06 puts sidewalk repair squarely on the abutting property owner, not the city. Section 11.06.030 makes the owner responsible for installing new sidewalk along the transition strip when necessary; section 11.06.040 makes the owner responsible for maintaining and repairing existing sidewalk. If a director of public works notice under section 11.06.070 goes unanswered for 30 days and isn't appealed to the city council, the city can perform the repair itself and record a lien against the property under section 11.06.120 for the cost plus ten percent.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a 30-day repair notice lets the city do the work itself and record a lien on the property for the full cost plus 10 percent, per section 11.06.120.
