Summary

Pueblo puts sidewalk repair on the abutting property's owner or agent: once the Director of Public Works gives notice a walk is out of repair, they have 30 days to fix it.

When any sidewalk in front of any premises shall be out of repair, the Director shall cause notice to be served upon the owner or agent in charge of the premises to repair such sidewalk within thirty (30) days.

Full Breakdown

Under Pueblo Municipal Code Sec. 12-3-28, the City doesn't fix a broken sidewalk on its own: the Director of Public Works serves written notice on the owner or agent in charge of the abutting premises, and that person has thirty days to make the repair. Sec. 12-3-21 defines the responsible agent: for most properties it's the occupant or tenant, though hotels, apartments, office buildings and other multi-unit or business buildings are excluded. If the owner or agent ignores the notice, Sec. 12-3-30 lets the Director have the work done by the City and assess the cost, plus up to 15% for inspection/collection and 10% annual interest, as a lien on the property.

Violations & Fines

Ignoring a 30-day repair notice is a Class 2 municipal offense under Sec. 1-2-1, punishable by up to $1,000, and the City can do the repair itself and lien the property for the cost plus 15% and 10% annual interest.
