orders shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit
court where such application is made, and on application of the
legal representative of any deceased sheriff or collector he
shall be entitled to avail himself of the provisions of this
section as fully as such deceased sheriff or collector could do
if living.
99.
Whenever, prior to December 31, 1943, any property was sold
for the nonpayment of any taxes and said sale has been ratified
and confirmed, whether or not a deed has been delivered to the
purchaser, any purchaser at any such prior tax sale is hereby
empowered to proceed under the provisions of this subtitle
relating to the foreclosure of rights of redemption. The
collector, upon surrender to him of a receipt or any other
instrument evidencing payment of the purchase price, shall
deliver to such purchaser a certificate signed by the collector
containing all available information concerning the prior sale.
Any certificate issued under this section shall have the same
force and effect as other certificates issued under the
provisions of this subtitle and shall be subject to all of the
provisions of this subtitle relating to such other certificates
of sale. Any collector may issue the certificate provided for in
this section, notwithstanding the fact that any such prior TAX
sale was made by one of his predecessors in office.

which such certificate relates, as hereinafter provided. The
right to ' redeem shall, nevertheless, exist and continue until

be void and any and all right, title and interest of the holder
of the certificate of sale [of] OR his predecessors thereof, in

the collector on account of the said sale shall be deemed
forfeited, and shall be applied by the collector on the taxes in
arrears on said property. However, in Baltimore City, where any
building or structure is sold and purchased pursuant to the
provisions of the subtitle "Tax Sales" of this article, and the
commissioner of the department of housing and community
development of Baltimore City, or the successor in this office
from time to time as the case may be, shall certify that the
particular building or structure involved requires, or within six
months shall require, substantial repairs to comply with the
Baltimore City Building Code, then, and in that event, the holder
of any certificate of sale, his heirs or assigns, may at any time
