No sidewalk which shall be constructed contrary to the provisions
of this article shall be considered a legal sidewalk and the same
may be ordered to be replaced with a legal sidewalk and with one that
is in conformity with this article, the same as if no sidewalk whatever
had been built or constructed in the place where any such sidewalk
is located, such replacement to be accomplished at the adjacent property
owner's cost.
The members of the Public Works Committee or the Director of
Public Works will, before the second board meeting of May of each
even-numbered year, visually inspect the sidewalks within the Village.
Upon this inspection, the following criteria will be used to determine
if a sidewalk is defective and if a repair order is to be issued:
A. Three-fourths inch vertical differential.
B. Vertical alignment settled more than one inch per foot from normal
grade.
D. Poles, trees, or other objects creating hazards.
E. Cracks more than 1/2 inch wide in the segment.
F. Stone poppage or excessive rough surface (50% or more of slab).
