Can I hire a contractor or do the work myself?

The property owner may elect to replace the problem public sidewalk by hiring a contractor to perform the work. That contractor must obtain an Engineering Permit through the city engineering division prior to beginning work. The work must be completed BEFORE the city’s contractor arrives on that street.
