Sidewalks and the landscape strip between the sidewalk and curb are often actually owned by the city or state.Jon

I also told her that I had another tenant that packed up a boyfriends stuff when he wasn't there and threw it out onto the sidewalk, but that I couldn't advise that.

Looked at the pics.I would power wash the sidewalk next to your building as well as the entrance and patio.They are real dirty and you can see algae growing on them.You can rent concrete pressure washer with a high PSI at Lowe's or Home Depot for cheap.Make sure you spend a little higher amount to get the high psi sprayer.Do Not use it on the house but concrete only as damage can occur.The houses use a lower psi sprayer than the concrete ones.I would say you are looking at identity disorder with this property.I get your story about it but what else is around it??

Also find out where the municipality is upgrading infrastructure, adding sidewalks, etc.

Land improvements (15 year) include driveways, sidewalks, fencing, and landscaping.

I landed the job because I swept his sidewalk afterwords the neighbor was hooked.

I also had incidence of a stubborn roof leak and the fitting that hooks up to the city water underground cracked and water was flooding around the sidewalk!

Driving your car on a sidewalk or playing with fireworks in the middle of the crowd are two examples that come to mind.

Usually, the lots are split and that's the extent of it, the builder has to bring in utilities, put in curb/gutter/sidewalk, etc.
