Property owner liability for sidewalk maintenance failures

Any property owner who fails to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall indemnify and save harmless the county, its officers and agents, from all claims, demands, suits, actions or proceedings of every name, character and description which may be brought against the county for or on account of any injuries or damages to any person or property resulting from the failure of the owner to properly maintain the abutting sidewalk area in a reasonably safe condition. In addition, the county may institute an action to prevent, restrain, correct, or abate any violation of this chapter and seek such relief, by way of injunction or otherwise, as may be proper under the facts and circumstances of the case, in order to fully effectuate the purposes of this chapter.
