(a) No dwelling or other structure upon land acquired by the City shall be removed therefrom, except in the form of salvaged materials, unless the Commissioner of Purchases and Supplies is otherwise directed by the Board of Control to sell the dwelling or other structure.
(b) When so directed, the Commissioner shall sell the dwelling or other structure in the same manner as the sale of other personal property of like value, except as herein provided.
(c) The Commissioner shall require the bidder to state the specific site or alternates therefor upon which he or she proposes to relocate the dwelling or other structure. The Board in approving any award shall give due consideration to character of the neighborhood of the site, the conformity of the proposed relocation thereto and the means to be taken by the bidder to insure that the neighborhood will not be adversely affected by such relocation.
(d) Before approving any award of sale for removal and relocation the Board shall obtain the report of the Commissioner of Building that such dwelling or other structure may be relocated upon the specified site in the City in compliance with the applicable ordinances and the conditions upon which relocation may lawfully be made. Any award shall be conditioned upon such compliance, secured by such means as the Board shall determine.
(e) The successful bidder shall obligate himself or herself to indemnify and save the City harmless from any loss occasioned by injury to person or property, in form and amount satisfactory to the Director of Law, and shall give security that the premises will be restored to the condition required by the applicable ordinances of the City.
(f) If the cost of the dwelling or other structure as included in the purchase price of the real estate is more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), the Board shall not approve the award of sale at a price less than the appraisal at the time of acquisition except pursuant to a new appraisal giving due consideration to the necessity of sale and removal.
