If in any action it shall appear that by reason of any irregularities or informalities the assessment has not been properly made against the person assessed or upon the lot or premises sought to be charged, the court may, nevertheless, on satisfactory proof that expense has been incurred by the village which is a proper charge against the person assessed or the lot or premises in question, render judgment for the amount properly chargeable against such person or upon such lot or premises.
