15.24.110   Bond--Conditions.
   A.   Every bond posted pursuant to this chapter shall be conditioned as follows:
   1.   That each and all of the terms and conditions of the housemoving permit shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the building inspector;
   2.   That all of the work required to be done pursuant to the terms and conditions of the housemoving permit shall be fully performed and completed within ninety days after the date of the issuance by the building inspector of the housemoving permit. The time limit specified in this section or the time limit specified in any permit, may be extended for good and sufficient cause by the building inspector.
   B.   No such extension of time shall be valid unless written and no such extension shall release any surety upon any bond.
(Prior code § 14.24.060(B) (Ord. 387 § 6(b), 1954))
15.24.120   Bond--Defaults.
   A.   Whenever the building inspector finds that a default has occurred in the performance of any term or condition of any permit, written notice thereof shall be given to the principal and to the surety on the bond. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of time deemed by the building inspector to be reasonably necessary for the completion of such work.
   B.   After receipt of such notice the surety must, within the time therein specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein, must pay over to the building inspector twice the estimated cost of doing the work, as set forth in the notice. Upon the receipt of such money, the city shall proceed, by such mode as it deems convenient to cause the required work to be performed and completed, but no liability shall be incurred therein other than for the expenditure of the sum of money in hand therefor.
   C.   If a cash bond has been posted, notice of default as provided in subsection A of this section shall be given to the principal and, if compliance is not had within the time specified, the city shall proceed without delay and without further notice of proceedings whatever, to use the cash deposit, or any portion of such deposit, to cause the required work to be done, by contract or otherwise, in the discretion of the city. The balance, if any, of such cash deposit shall, upon the completion of the work, be returned to the depositor or to his successors or assigns after deducting the cost of the work, plus twenty-five percent to cover cost of supervision and direction of work of completion.
   D.   When any default has occurred on the part of the principal under the preceding provisions of this section, the surety shall have the option, in lieu of completing the work required, to demolish the building or structure, and to clear, clean and restore the site within ninety days of the default. If the surety defaults, the city shall have the same option.
(Prior code § 14.24.060(C), (D) (Ord. 387 § 6(c), (d), 1954))
15.24.130   Bond--Term.
   The term of each bond posted pursuant to this chapter shall begin upon the date of the posting thereof and shall end upon the completion, to the satisfaction of the building inspector, of the performance of all the terms and conditions of the housemoving permit. Such completion shall be evidenced by a statement thereof, signed by the building inspector, a copy of which will be sent to any surety or principal upon request. When a cash bond has been posted, the cash shall be returned to the depositor, or to his successors or assigns, upon the termination of the bond, except any portion thereof that may have been used or deducted as provided in this chapter.

15.24.140   Right of access to premises.
   A.   The building inspector, any member of the city council, the surety, and the duly authorized representatives of either, shall have access to the premises described in the housemoving permit for the purpose of inspecting the progress of the work.
   B.   In the event of any default in the performance of any term or condition of the housemoving permit with reference to the relocation of a structure, the surety or any person employed or engaged on its behalf, or the building inspector or any person employed or engaged on his behalf, or any member of the city council shall have the right to go upon the premises to complete the required work or to remove or demolish the building or structure.
   C.   It is unlawful for the owner or his representatives, successors, or assigns, or any other person, to interfere with or obstruct the ingress to or egress from any such premises of any authorized representative or agent of any surety or of the city engaged in the work of completing, demolishing, or removing any building or structure for which a housemoving permit has been issued, after a default has occurred in the performance of the terms or conditions thereof.

15.24.150   Leaving building in one position for more than twenty-four hours.
   No person shall permit any building to remain in one position on any street longer than twenty-four hours, unless prevented by an act of God, a public enemy, strike of employees, or other unavoidable cause beyond the control of such party. Immediately upon ascertaining that it will be necessary for the building to remain in one position for longer than twenty-four hours, the mover shall immediately notify the police department, and shall advise the police department of the facts which prevent him from continuing to move the building to its proper location.
