Before any insurance company, association or
exchange shall pay a claim to an insured for fire damage to a structure
which is located within the City of Bradford where the amount recoverable
under all applicable policies exceeds $7,500, the insured must first
secure a certificate from the City Treasurer, which the insured must
thereafter forward to his insurance company, association or exchange,
showing that:
A. There are no delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties
or user charges against the property and that, as of the date of the
Treasurer's certificate, the City has not certified any amount as
total costs incurred by the City for the removal, repair or securing
of a building or other structure on the property;
B. A certificate and bill showing the amount of delinquent
taxes, assessments, penalties and user charges against the property
as of the date specified in the request that have not been paid as
of the date of the certificate and also showing, as of the date of
the Treasurer's certificate, the amount of the total costs, if any,
certified to the Treasurer that have been incurred by the City for
the removal, repair or securing of a building or other structure on
the property. For the purposes of this subsection, the City shall
certify to the Treasurer the total amount, if any, of such costs;
or
C. When the City Treasurer receives moneys from an insurance
company to pay taxes, assessments, penalties, charges or costs pursuant
to a bill which the Treasurer had prepared pursuant to the foregoing
