In an effort to tear down houses that are a safety hazard, the city has placed 1700 houses on a demolition list. The problem is that many owners are having trouble finding out about the notice.

Another big problem is that many of the homes on the list do not pose an immediate threat and are historic homes that could be saved!

If you or a friend owns a property in New Orleans, please check out the complete list of addresses www.squanderedheritage.com. This site also has information on what to do to get taken off the list if your home was put on in error.
