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 subsection,
the City shall accept the amount so tendered and apply or credit it to payment
of the items shown in the bill.
