- Staff · December 30, 2024Sidewalk grates, vaults, skylights, and all other encroachments in the public right of way must be maintained by the owner of the abutting property. See the following city codes below: Sec. 24-1. - Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter and elsewhere throughout this Code, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except when the context clearly indicates a different meaning: Encroachment means any portion of a public street right-of-way, including areas below, on or above the surface, that is authorized under this chapter or taken without such authorization for use by an individual or concern and altered for a particular benefit. Encroachments shall include, but not be limited to, sidewalk crossings, in the form of driveways and carriage walks, areaways, coal chutes, loading doors, skylights, vents, oil fillers, utility service vaults, walls, signage, and awnings. Sec. 24-60. - Existing encroachments, awnings, canopies, and areas below the surface of streets. (a) The existence of encroachments in the public right-of-way and having a particular and obvious relationship to an abutting property, including, but not limited to, sidewalk crossings and carriage walk, retaining walls, signage, and areaways of all types, shall constitute prima facie evidence of its ownership by that abutting property. The abutting property owner or tenant or any concern granted franchise rights by the City is responsible for all maintenance and repair of the encroachment and the adjacent sections or areas of sidewalk or street pavements.
