Pursuant to Chapter 26 Section 263 of the Code of the City of New Orleans, the City of New Orleans gives official notification that it intends to demolish or haul away the below referenced properties. The City has determined that these properties constitute an immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare; by reasons of being unremediated, ungutted, open to the public, unsafe, unsanitary or conducive to ill health of the community. A legal owner who disputes the proposed demolition must submit in person or by certified mail proof (photos) that he/she has complied with the Imminent Health Threat ordinance.
The photos must document the following:
- Inside of the property gutted and contents removed;
- Grass cut in front, back and side yards;
- All doors, windows shut and secured;
Upon receipt of proof, the Department of Code Enforcement will issue a letter advising whether the owner’s request has been granted. Additionally, the property will be scheduled for a follow-up inspection to validate the remediation claim. Failure to comply with the Imminent Health Threat Ordinance will result in the property remaining on the demolition list and the demolition of the property.
