1. Who is responsible for maintaining sidewalks and other frontage improvements?

State law (Division 7, Part 3, Chapter 22 of the Streets and Highways Code [Sections 5600 and 5610]) requires property owners to maintain sidewalks, parking strips, curbs, retaining walls, and other such works between their property line and the street line. Property owners are required to maintain these frontage improvements such that they will not endanger persons or property or interfere with the public convenience in the use of those works or areas.
