In case the City Attorney, upon written request of any taxpayer, fails to make any application provided for in the three preceding sections, such taxpayer may institute suit or proceedings for such purpose in his or her own name on behalf of the City. No such suit or proceedings shall be entertained by any court until such request to the City Attorney shall first have been made, nor until the taxpayer shall have given security for the costs of the proceeding.
