What happens if a property owner doesn't clean their sidewalk
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗If a property owner or their agent (like a tenant or property manager) gets a notice from the city to clean their sidewalk and doesn't do it within 20 days, the city can clean it and charge the owner. The owner must pay the cost, or the city can sue them in district court.
