§ 150.70 VACATION AND DEMOLITION FOR NONCOMPLIANCE.
   If the owner, occupant, mortgagee, or lessee fails to comply with the order of the Building Inspector provided for in § 150.68 or the action of the Building Appeals Board after hearing, where a hearing has been requested, the Building Inspector shall cause such dwelling or part thereof to be vacated and may cause the same to be repaired or demolished if the facts indicate that any delay will be dangerous to the health, morals, safety, or general welfare of the people and shall cause the costs of such repair or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building existed as a municipal lien or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner.
(`63 Code, § 1317.26) (Ord. 42-69, passed 11-3-69)
§ 150.71 EMERGENCY VACATION AND DEMOLITION.
   In cases where it reasonably appears that there is immediate danger to the life or safety of any person unless a dangerous dwelling, as defined in § 150.66, is immediately vacated and repaired or demolished, the Building Inspector shall cause the immediate vacation and repair or demolition of such dangerous dwelling. The costs of such emergency repair or demolition of such dangerous dwelling shall be collected in the same manner as provided in § 150.70.

§ 150.72 DISPOSITION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
   No insurance company doing business in the state shall pay a claim of the named insured for the fire damage to a structure located within the city where the amount recoverable for the fire loss to the structure under all insurance policies exceeds $20,000 and is greater than or equal to 60% of all fire insurance policy monetary limitations unless there is compliance with the following procedures:
   (A)   When the loss agreed to between the named insured and the insurance company equals or exceeds 60% of the aggregate limits of liability on all fire policies covering the building or structure, the insurance company, in accordance with R.C. § 715.26(F), shall transfer from the insurance proceeds to the Auditor of the City in the aggregate amount of $1,000 for each $20,000 and each fraction of that amount, of a claim or, if at the time of a proof of loss agreed to between the named insured and the insurance company, the named insured has submitted a contractor's signed estimate of the costs of removing, repairing or securing the building or other structure, shall transfer from the insurance proceeds the amount specified in the estimate.
   (B)   Such transfer of proceeds shall be on a pro rata basis by all companies insuring the building or structure. Policy proceeds remaining after the transfer to the city may be disbursed in accordance with the policy terms.
   (C)   The named insured may submit a contractor's signed estimate of the costs of removing, repairing or securing the building or other structure after the transfer, and the Auditor of the city, after notifying the City Code Enforcement Supervisor, shall return the amount of the fund in excess of the estimate to the named insured, provided that the city has not commenced to remove, repair or secure the building or other structure.
   (D)   Upon receipt of proceeds by the city as authorized by this section, the Auditor of the city shall place the proceeds in a separate fund to be used solely as security against the total cost of removing, repairing or securing incurred by the city pursuant to R.C. § 715.261.
   (E)   When transferring the fund as required herein, an insurance company shall provide the city with the name and address of the named insured, whereupon the city shall contact the named insured, certify that the proceeds have been received by the city and notify them that the following procedures will be followed:
      (1)   The fund shall be returned by the Auditor of the city to the named insured when repairs, or removal, or securing of the building or other structure has been completed and the required proof is received by the City Code Enforcement Supervisor, provided that the city has not incurred any costs for such repairs, removal or securing. If the city has incurred any costs for repairs, removal or securing of the building or other structure, such costs shall be paid from the fund and if excess funds remain, the city shall transfer the remaining funds to the named insured after repair, rebuilding or removal has been completed. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the ability of the city to recover any deficiency under R.C. § 715.261.
   (F)   Nothing in R.C. § 3929.56(C) and (D), as adopted herein, shall be construed to prohibit the city and the named insured from entering into an agreement that permits the transfer of funds to the named insured if some other reasonable disposition of the damaged property has been negotiated.
(Ord. 92-87, passed 10-13-87; Am. Ord. 40-05, passed 6-13-05)
