Joyner for demolition, mowing and administration charges erroneously assessed. "In 1982 and 1983 mowing and~demolition charges were assessed on property located at 229 Gilmerton Avenue. At that time the property was owned by Kogen P. Hashemy. Subsequently a deed of trust, which had been recorded prior to the assessment of the mowing and demolition charges, was foreclosed by the~Trustee. The effect of this foreclosure prevented the City from asserting a lien against the property, and the new owners took the property free of such lien. However, the new owners paid the charges by mistake.
