Hold On...I'm coming...Hold on... Recovery Roads Repair coming in 2016


Please see the map of the Leonidas neighborhood from the Recovery Roads website: http://recoveryroads.nola.gov/Portals/0/LeonidasNeighborhood.pdf   

It shows what types of repairs are planned in this neighborhood.

The waterline replacements will happen in conjunction with the Recovery Roads work.

Repairs start SUMMER of 2016.

Thank you Cheryn Robles, City of New Orleans Department of Public Works,
for answering the Neighborhood's questions
about Roadway and Sewerage & Water Board repairs.



Waiting for Godot? No just Sheriff Sale

Let's take a look at some of the houses the NorthWest Carrollton has 
reported for Blight, followed up, attended hearings, sent emails to City Staff.....
AND been successful in getting a Blight judgement:

8209 Apple

Case:#14-02188-MPM
This house has been blighted for YEARS and was reported by many neighbors.

Case:#14-07156-MPM  (but there are cases dating back to 2009!)
We'd also like to know why a house reported in DECEMBER 2012 was only inspected and added to BlightStatus in 2014?  
BlightStatus says
Mar 27, 2014 — Sheriff Sale 
Sale Stopped 
Why isn't it blighted enough!?

The property currently has 2 Case numbers and has been found guilty BOTH times.
This house has been a problem property in NorthWest Carrollton for years. 


What does it take to actually have a blight case go to Sheriff Sale?

Now what? 8515 Pritchard Place - Blight since 2012

The grass is no longer being cut. And there is a mattress piled up neat the front porch.....
Here's the problem: the city found this house blighted... in 2012.


WHEN is it going to go to Sheriff's Sale?

AFTER ...... AND it looks GREAT! 

The property was originally on a Auction List but never went to Sheriff's sale.  NORA owned it and did a property swap with a lady named Evie Kirk for her townhouse in New Orleans East.  Evie Kirk then sold it to Peter Gardner.

Perhaps you noticed the newly painted utility box on Carrollton?

CVUNOLA.org has program that works with neighborhood organizations to paint utility boxes.
 
Yep, that's a Raccoon in the tree.

Egrets and Herons are frequent visitors to NorthWest Carrollton

as are opossums


That would be Archie, the neighborhood peacock.
