[Adopted 6-18-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-5]
The owner of any premises in the Township of Ocean abutting
a sidewalk or curb shall, at his or her own cost and expense, keep
and maintain such sidewalk or curb in good condition and state of
repair and shall not permit the same to fall into a state of disrepair
or to become unfit or unsafe to walk upon. In the event that such
sidewalk or curb or any part thereof becomes unsafe or hazardous to
the public or unfit to walk upon, the abutting owner, at his or her
own cost and expense, shall, with all expeditious speed, reconstruct
or repair, as the facts may require, such sidewalk or curb or that
part thereof which requires reconstruction or repair.
Where, in the opinion of the Ocean Township Engineer, Code Enforcement
Officer, or the Public Works Director/Superintendent, a sidewalk or
curb is in an unsafe or hazardous condition, he or she shall provide
notice in writing served upon the owner or occupant of said lands,
requiring the necessary specified work to said curb or sidewalk to
be done by said owner or occupant within the period not less than
30 days from the date of service of said notice. Whenever any lands
are unoccupied, and the owner cannot be found within the Township,
said notice may be mailed to the last known address on file with the
Office of the Tax Collector and on the tax rolls of the Township.
In any case where an owner cannot be located and no last known address
is available, then said notice may be inserted in the official newspaper
of the Township of Ocean for four consecutive weeks, said notice appearing
once per week.
In the case where the owner or occupant of such lands shall
not comply with the requirements of such notice, it shall be lawful
for the Public Works Director/Superintendent, upon filing due proof
of service or publication of the aforesaid notice, to cause the required
work to be done and paid for out of the Township funds available for
that purpose. The cost of such work shall be certified by the Public
Works Director/Superintendent to the Township Engineer, who shall
verify the same and turn it over to the Tax Assessor. Upon filing
these said certificates, the amount of the cost of such work shall
become a lien upon said abutting lands in front of which such work
was done.
