Subject: Hazardous sidewalk at 74O No. 14th Street
Dear Mr. Scott,
I am writing to you in response to a request for assistance from aSpringfield resident regarding a hazardous sidewalk adjoining your propertyat 740 No. L4th Street. City staff investigated the complaint and foundthat the sidewalk has been displaced to the extent that it could cause apedestrian to trip or stumble. f am sure you are as concerned as we arethat this situation be corrected.
You may not be aware that the Springfield City Code (copies attached) makesit the property owners responsibility to maj-ntain sidewalks abutting theirproperty. Chapter If, Article 7, Section 2-7-4 applies to the situation atyour property.
To correct this dangerous situation, I propose that you remove and replacethe displaced section of sidewalk. A sidewalk perrnit, Which can be obtainedat the Development Services Department at City Hal1, is reguired.
ff the situation is not corrected in a timely manner, we will have to send
you a formal enforcement notice, as reguired by the City Code. ff you have
any questions, Please contact Ron Sather, Construction Inspector at 726-
2240. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
