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

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
