Housing Code Enforcement
Properties to be demolished because of Hurricane Gustav damage
Code Enforcement, in coordination with the Department of Safety and Permits, is sweeping the City and inspecting properties that are in imminent danger of collapse as a result of Hurricane Gustav. The attached listing of properties were reviewed and processed by Safety and Permits and declared as imminent danger. They are slated for immediate removal by demolition of the property. Properties scheduled for immediate demolition because of Hurricane Gustav damage. The Bureau of Administration in the Office of Recovery & Development of the City of New Orleans has scheduled to hear the following cases in Suite 1100, 1340 Poydras Street. The purpose of these hearings is to determine if the properties at the locations listed should be declared blighted pursuant to the provisions of Section 28-38 of the City Code or a public nuisance pursuant to the provisions of Section 28-37, et seq., of the City Code. If the property is declared blighted, it is eligible for expropriation. If the property is declared a public nuisance, it is eligible for demolition. Click here to view the Public Notice Administrative Adjudication Dockets. The Code Enforcement Department is holding regular hearings for properties in violation of the city’s housing standards. Residents are welcome to observe the hearings and offer testimony. Hearings are held on the 11th floor of 1340 Poydras St.. The following link is to a schedule of upcoming hearings. The properties are grouped together by council district.
Results from Code Enforcement Hearings
The Code Enforcement department holds regular hearings for properties in violation of the city’s housing standards. The following links are to spreadsheets that show the hearing results. The properties are grouped together by council district. If the results say “compliance agreement,” that means that the owner entered into an agreement to fix his property by a strict deadline. Fines are suspended as long as the deadlines are met. If the results say “Work in progress, case reset” that means that the resident proved that they have begun to make repairs to the property. They were rescheduled for a new hearing 30 or 60 days later and if the necessary repairs have not been completed, fines will begin.
Before Hurricane Katrina, Code Enforcement inspectors inspected one property at a time in locations spread out throughout the city. As the department looks at the best way to encourage recovery and reduce blight, it has decided that this is no longer the best inspection strategy. Inspections will now be organized around large sweeps throughout the city. A typical sweep area will be six by six blocks. The idea is that by saturating these areas and working every property that is in violation through the enforcement process, the department will create large stabilized areas that will be catalysts for recovery in the areas surrounding them. Eventually every part of the city will be covered by a sweep. Initially these sweeps will be focusing on citing unoccupied properties. Every unoccupied property that does not meet the city’s housing standards will be cited and the owner will receive a Notice of Violation with a hearing date. The code enforcement department will be inspecting other properties outside of these sweep areas - including properties that are threats to public safety and health and properties that are requested to be inspected by the City Council staff.
In an effort to present more user friendly information to the public, we have created maps that show all of the sweeps that the department has completed, and the sweeps that are planned for the next month. The following link is to these maps. The first map is a citywide view of all sweeps, and the other maps zoom in on each individual sweep area.
