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