At any time after the expiration of twelve months from the date of sale, the Board of Public Works must execute to the purchaser, or the purchaser’s assignee on the purchaser’s application if such purchaser or assignee has complied with the provisions of this section, a deed of the property sold, in which shall be recited substantially the matters contained in the certificate, also any assignment thereof and the fact that no person has redeemed the property. The Board of Public Works shall receive from the applicant one dollar for making such deed, unless the City is the purchaser, in which case no charge shall be made therefor. The purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee, must, at least thirty days before the purchaser or assignee applies for a deed, serve upon the owner of the property, and upon the occupant of such property, if the same is occupied, a written notice setting forth a description of the property, stating that said property has been sold for a delinquent assessment; specifying the improvement for which the same was made, the amount for which the delinquent property was sold, the amount necessary to redeem at the time of giving notice, and the time when such purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee will apply to the Board of Public Works for a deed. If said owner cannot be found, after due diligence, said notice must be posted in a conspicuous place upon said property at least thirty days before the time stated therein at which the application for a deed will be made. The person applying for a deed must file with the Board of Public Works an affidavit or affidavits showing that such notice of such application has been given or posted as herein required, and if the notice was not personally served on the owner of the property, that due diligence was used to find said owner before such posting; and such affidavit or affidavits must be filed in the office of the Board of Public Works. If redemption of the property is made after affidavits are filed, the person making such redemption must pay, in addition to the other amounts required, three dollars for the service of notice and the making of such affidavits, which amount shall be paid over to the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee in the same manner as other sums paid for redemption. No deed for any property sold for delinquent assessment shall be made until the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee has complied with all the provisions of this section, and filed the proper affidavits with the Board of Public Works.

The funds collected by the Board of Public Works under the proceedings herein provided for, shall be paid by said Board of Public Works, as fast as collected, to the City Treasurer, who shall place the same in a special fund, as designated by the City Controller, and payment shall be made, out of such special fund only for the purpose provided for in this article. To expedite the making of any such improvement the City Council may at any time, transfer into said special fund, out of any money in the General Fund, such sums as it may deem necessary, and the sums so transferred shall be deemed as a loan to such special fund, and shall be repaid out of the proceeds of the assessments provided for in this article.
If for any reason there shall be a deficiency in the funds derived from the assessment for any improvement under this article, including all incidental expenses thereof, the City Council may meet such deficiency by appropriation out of the General Fund or by ordering a supplemental assessment in the same manner and as nearly as may be as the preceding assessment except that protests may only be made against such supplemental assessment. Any unexpended balance remaining in the special fund provided for in Section 6.237 hereof, at the expiration of the period specified in the Ordinance of Intention, shall be credited to the fund to be raised for the next ensuing period of the improvement. Whenever the City Council, in its discretion, does not reorder the said improvement to be made, any such unexpended balance may be retained in such fund to be used by the Department of Public Works to defray the costs and expenses of maintaining such trees until such unexpended balance is exhausted.
