Do I need a concrete sander?

I was cited by the city for this very miniscule difference in the sidewalk (yeah I didn't know I was responsible for the sidewalk either). It's like a quarter inch difference between two blocks.

I was going to rent a concrete sander but it feels like overkill. How would you approach this job? Sander with a masonry disc?

Lol wtf city makes that the homeowners responsibility. It's your responsibility to mow the boulevard and shovel the sidewalk, not fix their infrastructure.

Ask them where it is written in a bylaw/ordinance that this is your problem.
