A. Whenever 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, said notice to state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof, and the period of time deemed to be reasonably necessary to complete such work. After receipt of such notice, the surety must, within the time therein specified, either cause the work to be done or pay over to the building official the estimated cost of doing the work, as set forth in the notice, plus ten percent (10%) of said estimated cost. Upon receipt of such money, the building official shall cause the required work to be performed and completed as set forth in Chapter 1.24.

B. If a cash bond has been posted, notice of default, as provided above, shall be given to the principal, and if compliance is not had within the time specified, the building official shall use the cash deposit or any portion thereof to cause the required work to be completed as set forth in Chapter 1.24. The balance, if any, of such cash deposit shall, upon the completion of the work, be returned to the depositor, or to their successors or assigns, after deducting the cost of the work plus ten percent (10%).

C. If the principal defaults, the building official 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. (Ord. 6590-NS § 1)
