On any nonconforming structure or portion of a structure containing a nonconforming use, work may be done for ordinary repairs or for repair of replacement of nonbearing walls, fixtures, wiring or plumbing provided that the cubic content existing when it became nonconforming shall not be increased. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any building or part thereof declared to be unsafe by any official charged with protecting the public safety upon order of such official, unless the strengthening or restoration involves an expenditure equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the buildings assessed value, in which case the building shall either be demolished or strengthened or restored in such a way as to be brought into conformity with the use requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.
