the corresponding property owner is found to be a dangerous building as defined

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

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

buildings is being delayed pending the taking effect of this ordinance creates
an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public business place, prop-
erty, 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.
