IF THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF YOUR ALBUQUERQUE HOME OR BUSINESS IS UNEVEN OR BROKEN, YOU’RE THE ONE TO FIX IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT’S THE CITY THAT’S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT … BUT NO, IT’S THE PROPERTY OWNER. AND A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF THE COST FOR NOW IS 400-THOUSAND DOLLARS. THAT DOESN’T NEARLY COVER THE FULL COST.
KOB TV REPORTS IT’S BEEN A YEAR SINCE ALBUQUERQUE’S INSPECTOR GENERAL SAID THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 MILLION DOLLARS IN REPAIRS TO MAKE TO CITY SIDEWALKS. THE CITY DOESN’T GO OUT AND CHECK THESE ISSUES AND WON’T CONTACT A PROPERTY OWNER ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE FILES A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT.
