[Adopted 1-26-1981 as Ch.
136 of the 1981 Code]
Fire insurance proceeds subject to the lien of the city upon premises
damaged by fire when such premises are encumbered by unpaid taxes or assessments
as provided in § 22 of the General Municipal Law may be released
to the insured, provided that such insured agrees, in a manner directed by
the City Council of the City of Batavia, to restore the affected premises
to the same or improved condition that it was in prior to the time the right
to such lien arose subject to such conditions as the resolution establishing
the lien shall provide to guarantee performance of such obligation.
The provisions of this article shall not be deemed or construed to alter
or impair the right of the city to acquire or enforce any lien against real
property but shall be in addition to any other power provided by law to acquire
or enforce such right.
