Who is responsible for fixing a damaged cement sidewalk in front of a 1 family home in a land marked neighborhood? Does the city do it and bill the homeowner? Can a homeowner do it or do you need a licensed contractor? What permits are needed, if any? There have been no violations issued. However, my homeowner insurance carrier has notified of this need for the repair. If the homeowner repairs it, does the homeowner assume liability for any injuries caused by the repaired sidewalk? Thanks for any responses.
