WHERE THE PERSON MAKING <br />APPLICATION IS A CONTRACTOR AND NOT THE OWNER OF THE <br />BUILDING TO BE DEMOLISHED, A FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR ($500.00) <br />CASH BOND IS REQUIRED. THE BOND SHALL BE CONDITIONED THAT <br />THE PRINCIPAL, IF GRANTED A PERMIT, WILL ACCOMPLISH SUCH <br />DEMOLITION IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS <br />ARTICLE, AND WILL PAY TO THE CITY ANY EXPENSE INCURRED BY <br />IT IN ELIMINATING FIRE HA7,ARDS OR OTHER CONDITIONS CREATED <br />BY SUCH DEMOLITION WHICH ARE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUBLIC <br />WELFARE.
