The city clerk shall not issue a relocation permit until the permittee, or the permittee's authorized agent, shall have first deposited with the city clerk a cash bond in an amount equal to the estimated cost plus 10% of the work required to be done in order to comply with all of the conditions under which the relocation permit is issued. Every such deposit made pursuant to this section shall be conditioned as follows:
A. 
That each and all of the terms and conditions of the relocation permit shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the permit services administrator; and
B. 
That all of the work required to be done pursuant to the conditions of the relocation permit shall be fully performed and completed within the time limit specified in the relocation permit; if no time limit is specified, the work shall be completed within 90 days after the date of the issuance of the relocation permit. The time limit specified in this section in any permit issued under this chapter may be extended for good and sufficient cause, either before or after such time period has expired, by written order of the permit services administrator.
C. 
In the event that permittee fails to fully perform and complete the work required to be done in order to comply with all of the conditions under which the relocation permit is issued, or if an extension of time or extensions have been granted by the permit services administrator, within the time specified in such extension or extensions, the permit services administrator shall give written notice to the permittee of such default. In such notice of default the permit services administrator shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof, and the period of time deemed by the permit services administrator to be reasonably necessary for the completion of such work. If compliance is not had within the time specified, the permit services administrator shall proceed without delay and without further notice or proceedings whatever to cause the required work to be done by contract or otherwise in the permit services administrator's discretion and deduct from the cash bond deposited the cost of the work plus 10% thereof, which 10% shall be retained by the city to cover administrative costs of the building section.
D. 
In lieu of completing the work required, the director of public works may demolish the building or structure and clear, clean and restore the site, and deduct from the cash bond deposited the cost of the work plus 10% thereof, which 10% shall be retained by the city to cover administrative costs of the building section.

The owner, the owner's representative, successor or assign, or any other person who interferes with or obstructs the ingress or egress to or from any such premises, or any authorized representative or agent of the city engaged in the work of completing, demolishing or removing any building or structure for which a relocation permit has been issued, after a default has occurred in the performance of the terms or conditions thereof, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
