New Orleans, Louisiana

This owner has not been around for a couple of months to maintain this property mow/remove tree cuttings, etc. The house/rental units are unoccupied.  It has overgrown on the sidewalk on the Gen Ogden side, which is the side my house faces this property.

overgrown grass and rodent activity

There is an overgrown tree on this property that is blocking the stop sign at S. Liberty and Soniat. I first reported it two years ago and nothing has been done. I see people run this stop sign all the time because they can't see it, and someone is going to get hurt. The tree needs to go or be cut way back.

Hello┬à.Please help. Owner does not take care of lot. High grass/rodents. Lot grass not maintained. Many complaints from neighbors. Owners just leave property unattended. Neighbors mowed grass close to sidewalk so people can walk. Hold them responsible growing neighborhood. 

The citizen is reporting a homeless encampment and concerns about the overall condition of the property.

Reporting property not maintained

5 Yosemite Drive in Park Timbers subdivision (Algiers).  There is persistent standing water along the curb that does not drain to nearby catch basin. As a result, the pavement and ground in front of my property are visibly sinking.  The situation is causing street and ground subsidence, property damage, and increased risk to the structural stability of my property. 

In an effort to mitigate the issue, I added additional sediment and added more grass across my front yard. However, due to the ongoing drainage failure, the sediment and grass have been washed away. The left side of my home and property are starting to sink from sediment loss.   Additionally, I had my sidewalk and driveway re-cemented, and they are now beginning to crack and sink as a direct result of the continued sinkage.

Subject: Formal Request for Inspection – Unsafe and Uninhabitable Property at 627 S. Lopez

To: New Orleans Code Enforcement

?

I am the owner of the property located directly across the street from 627 S. Lopez Street in New Orleans, and I am submitting a formal request for inspection of this property.

The condition of the property appears to be unsafe, unmaintained, and potentially unfit for habitation. Based on ongoing observations, I am requesting that this property be evaluated for the following:

Structural integrity and safety concerns

Sanitation and health hazards, including debris and unsafe waste

Unsecured access points and potential illegal occupancy

Compliance with Healthy Homes standards and minimum housing requirements

The property appears to be in severe disrepair, and the current conditions suggest it may not meet basic safety or occupancy standards required by the City.

Additionally, there are ongoing public health concerns, including hazardous debris (such as discarded needles) present in the surrounding area, which may pose a risk to neighboring residents and the public.

This situation is actively impacting my ability to safely maintain and operate my property across the street, including housing tenants and short-term rental guests. There have been repeated disturbances and safety concerns tied to the condition and activity surrounding this property.

I am requesting:

A formal inspection of the property

Documentation of any violations found

Information on next steps and enforcement actions

Please confirm receipt of this request and advise when an inspection will be scheduled.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
