§ 68-14. Costs of work performed by City charged to owner.

In the event that the owner refuses or neglects to fill in and make safe such cellar or basement, or refuses or neglects to dismantle and remove any barricades, guardrails or temporary structures erected during demolition, the City of Lockport may do the necessary work involved, either with City employees or outside contractors, and the cost of making the location safe shall be assessed against such property and shall be a lien thereon, as well as a claim against the owner of such property. The Building Inspector may institute a suit to recover such costs against the permittee.
