Any owner of a lot or land bounding and abutting upon a proposed improvement claiming that he will sustain damage by reason of the improvement shall present such claim to the board of revision of assessments within two weeks after the service of notice or the completion of the publication hereinbefore provided. Such claim shall be in writing and shall set forth the amount of damage claimed, with a general description of the property with respect to which it is claimed the damage will accrue, and shall be filed with the City Auditor. Any owner who fails so to do shall be deemed to have waived such damages and shall be barred from filing a claim or receiving damages therefor. This provision shall apply to all damage which will obviously result from the improvement, but shall not deprive the owner of his right to recover damages arising, without his fault, from acts of the City or of its agents. If, subsequent to the filing of such claim, the owner sell the property, or any part thereof, the right to such damages, if any, shall follow the ownership of the land without other transference of the claim. The board of revision of assessments shall report to the Council all such claims for damages filed with it.
