From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public Hearing
by the property owners appearing and the Building Inspector of the City of
Wichita Falls, the building and/or structure at the location listed above 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 person having
an interest in said building as shown by the tax records of the City of Wichita
Falls, are hereby commanded to repair, vacate, or demolish the building and/or
structure in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth in the Building
Inspector's notice. The property owner listed or any other person having an
interest in said building as shown by the tax records of the City of Wichita
Falls is further commanded to repair, vacate or demolish in accordance with the
State of Particulars set forth in the Building Inspector' s notice within thirty
(30) days from the date of this ordinance.
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.
