Housing Conservation District Review Committee Meeting Agenda
December 4th, 2006
10 a.m. Room 7E07
City Hall
RESULTS:APPROVED
It seems that The Country Club has purchased this property.
This house, which is not a traditional New Orleans style of any single type but definitely of our solid wood tradition, is on Palmetto, off Carrollton. It’s the lone house on what is mostly the New Orleans Country Club property. When I visited, I found the house completely untouched post-K. I did find a note in the mailbox from a man named Guy saying, " I am interested in your house. Phone #." I called him and he is still interested in purchasing the property. I gave him a detailed description of its condition. He lives in the Lower Ninth on Jordan and has rehabilitated his own property and purchased a house next to him that was being neglected and is working on it too. I will call him again and ask him to attend the HCDRC meeting on Monday but going to City Hall is a pain-in-the-ass to be avoided if at all possible. I know he prefer we advocate on his behalf. He told me that has another neighbor who has done nothing and pleaded for me to come see him. I will.

FEMA Section 106
Public Notice Regarding Historic Review of Privately-Owned Residential Buildings Proposed for Demolition in Orleans Parish, Louisiana - Non-Collapsed Buildings Seeking Comment
This house is in great condition in a highly repopulated area between Carrollton Ave. and Leonides Street
I was able to peek inside and see that the house had been gutted and with very little effort could be put to use as a home.
We also have a shotgun in the same area as this house. The floodwaters were much deeper, but because it has plaster walls we were able to remediate the mold and put the house back into use.
The hard part has been done on this paticular house, moving all the wet and ruined contents now it would seem that a bottle of bleach and a scrub brush could turn this place back into a home.
