Mount Pleasant, SC Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Sidewalk Repair (2026)

01 places sidewalk upkeep squarely on the property side of the line, not on Public Services. The occupant of any building, and the owner of any unoccupied building or vacant lot, abutting a sidewalk must keep and maintain it to the curb line in a clean and proper condition, free from trash, rubbish, and unsightly grass and weeds. 02 extends that duty to every tenant when a building is divided into apartments, offices, or other divisions occupied by more than one tenant: the maintenance responsibility for the sidewalk the building abuts falls on each and every tenant jointly and severally, so the Land Codes Inspector is not limited to chasing down a single owner.

03 backs the duty with a notice-and-cure process: when a sidewalk looks unsightly from trash, rubbish, grass, or weeds, the Land Codes Inspector notifies the occupant, owner, or any tenant, and that person has five days from notification to cut the weeds or remove the trash, ice, or snow and restore a clean, proper condition. 01 duty. 04, but flowers or lawn grass cannot be placed or maintained so as to interfere with pedestrians' ordinary use of the walk.
