4. If, within 30 days from the date of this ordinance, any such building listed in
Section 3 has not been demolished, as appropriate, it shall be demolished and removed at
the expense of the City by the City or its contractor, and the net cost for 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 demolition of dangerous buildings is being delayed pending the
taking effect of this ordinance created 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.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 7 day of April, 2009.
