At such time as the building moving has been completed, the city police shall inspect the premises and report to the City Clerk as to the extent of damages, if any, resulting from the relocation and whether any city laws have been violated during the operation. Upon a satisfactory report from the city police, the City Clerk shall return the corporate surety bond, cash, or check deposited by the applicant. In the event the basement, foundation, or portion thereof is not properly filled, covered, or in a clean and sanitary condition, the City Council may apply the money deposited for the purpose of defraying the expense of correcting the conditions. If the expense of correcting the hazardous condition is greater than the amount of the deposit set by the City Council as required herein, the City Council may recover such excess expense by civil suit or otherwise as prescribed by law.
