Glasgow Sidewalk or Retaining Wall Shall Be Kept in Good Repair ordinance (§ 520.020)
Chapter 520: Sidewalks and Retaining Walls
In short: Property owners must keep sidewalks and retaining walls on their property in good repair, and the owner's agent must do so if the owner lives outside the city. A tenant never has to spend more than the rent for the term he or she occupied the house.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
