Who is responsible for repair or replacements of sidewalks?
The property owner is responsible for the repair of sidewalks bordering the property; the fall is a good time for sidewalk repair.

However, if a borough tree or planting damages a curb or sidewalk, the borough is responsible for repairs or replacement of the sidewalks. All other damage is the responsibility of the homeowner.
