How long will I have to complete the sidewalk repairs?

It would be appreciated if repairs were completed as soon as possible in order to provide a safe passageway for pedestrians, however, deadlines are established and given in the notification letter. Typically, sidewalks marked as part of the inspection program are identified in the fall with a deadline for completion of repairs the following summer. If a sidewalk is marked from a complaint, the date for completion of repairs will be provided in the notification letter, allowing for at least 30 days to complete the repair work. Please note that once the sidewalk has been removed, the repair work must be completed within 2 weeks.
