Baltimore City Code

§ 11-2. Work done by City; assessments.

(a) City to do work.

On the failure of the owner of any lot binding or abutting on any unpaved street, lane, avenue, or alley to comply with a notice given under § 11-1 of this article, the Director of Transportation must:

(1) construct the footways and make the necessary improvements, repairs, and grading; and

(2) charge the cost of that work to the owner to whom notice was given.

(b) Collections.

These costs are a debt against the property, and the Director of Transportation must refer them to the Director of Finance, to be collected as the other claims of the City are collected.
