From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public Hearing
by property owners appearing and the Building Inspector of the City of

with the corresponding property owner is found to be a dangerous building as
defined in said Article III and the property owners listed or any other per-

City of Wichita Falls, are hereby commanded to repair, vacate, or demolish
the building and/or structure in accordance with the State of Particulars

If, within 30 days from the date of this ordinance, any such
building has not been so repaired or demolished, it shall be demolished or
removed at the expense of the City by the City or its contractor, and the
net cost of the demolition or removal shall be charged to the owners of the
property and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
The fact that the repair, vacation and/or demolition of dangerous
buildings is being delayed pending the taking effect of this ordinance creates
an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public business place,
property, health, safety and general welfare of the public which requires
that this ordinance shall become effective from and after the date of its
passage and is accordingly so ordained.
