[StBernard] CRAIG - HIGH GRASS

[Westley Annis]

Anonymous,
 
please send the address so that I can track the hold up on the demolition
issue.  unfortunately, the grass issue sometimes takes a bit longer to move
someone along because of the decision to let the lien sit on the property
until it is sold- but that means it can't be closed on by the LRA either
without the lien being satisfied.
 
God Bless,
craig

What is the process for houses where the grass is high, the house is still
ungutted, & debris is still in the yard even though a sign has been posted
for the past month informing the owners of the fines & lien ? The  owner
never comes back & isn't concerned because SUPPOSEDLY the house is up for
demo (But there isn't any demo sign on it.)  We are worried about the grass
harboring snakes & rodents.  What other recourse is there ?  The intention
behind the lien process is good, but if nothing is done until LRA money is
received or the house is sold,  what purpose does it serve ?  Those
situations could take months or years. Is the parish sending anyone to cut
the grass & charge the owners ?  Again, what can be done ?  It's not fair to
the people who have moved back and are trying to keep their properties up.
