SO MOVED BY COUNCILMAN NEIL, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLEMAN, ALL INTRODUCTIONS I'VE BEEN APPROVED.
[CONDEMNATIONS]
WOULD NOW GO TO YOUR SEPARATE SHEET FOR CONDEMNATIONS, I'M GOING TO READ THE DPW STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS AS, AS FOLLOWED THE ORDER PROCEED.WHAT ITEMS? 38 39 41 43 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50 52 53 55, 56, 57, 58 AND 59 TO LEAD ITEMS, 37 AND 40.
AND TO DEFER ITEMS 42 48 51 AND 54 TO JULY 27TH.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON A CONDEMNATION? ANYONE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK ON A CONDEMNATION.
WE NOW GO BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS WILLARD SIMS. I'M A NATIVE OF BATON ROUGE, CURRENTLY A RESIDENT OF HOUSTON, TEXAS.
I'M HERE IN REGARDS TO THE CONDEMNATION 46.
AND THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE PROPERTY THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, WHICH IS AT 5, 6, 4 COTTON STREET.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE RECEIVED PHOTOGRAPHS THAT I SENT TO, UH, AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT I BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RETRIEVE AND VIEW, UH, THE HOUSE IN QUESTION ALONG WITH MY HOUSE.
BUT, UH, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE HOUSES THAT ARE, SHOULD SAY THE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED NEXT TO MINE.
IT'S A TWO STORY BUILDING AND IT'S BEEN IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR FOR YEARS.
I'VE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF, UH, MY FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, BEFORE, UH, CURRENTLY, UH, COUNCILWOMAN COLEMAN IS, UH, THE COUNCILMAN FOR THIS DISTRICT.
AND I HAVE HAD HAD ISSUES WITH RENTING THE PROPERTY.
IT'S A RENTAL PROPERTY JUST BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF NOT ONLY THAT PROPERTY, BUT PROPERTIES IN GENERAL, BUT THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S LITERALLY GROWTH FROM THAT PROPERTY THAT IS ENCROACHING UPON MY PROPERTY AT THE MOMENT, UH, IT'S BOARDED UP AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE SIGNIFICANTLY TO MAKE THAT PROPERTY AND HABITABLE.
SO I AM IN FAVOR OF THE CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ENTAILS, BUT I JUST WANT IT TO FORCE MY OPINION.
I'VE HAD CONVERSATION WITH MRS. SAM'S.
IF YOU'LL LOOK AT NUMBER 46, THAT HE'S HERE IN REFERENCE TO WE'VE MET.
THIS ITEM HAS BEEN DEFERRED DECEMBER 8TH, JANUARY 12, FEBRUARY 9TH, MARCH NINE, APRIL 13.
SO WE SHALL PROCEED WITH THAT.
MA'AM IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE? THANK YOU, SIR.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON CONDEMNATIONS? ALRIGHT.
WE NOW GO TO COUNCIL MEMBERS, COUNCIL MEMBER, GO DAY.
UM, IF WE CAN DEFER THAT 90 DAYS, I HEARD YOU SAY JULY, SO THE 90 DAYS WOULD BE TO THE AUGUST 10TH MEETING.
ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE ELSE YOU HAD MENTIONED 48 A SECOND AGO.
WHAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION? DID YOU SAY 48 WAS JULY 27.
SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THIS AND I APOLOGIZE IF IT HAD BEEN ANSWERED BEFORE I SPOKE WITH THE NEW PROPERTY OWNER, WHICH IS ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK WITHOUT PERMITS.
UH, I MUST SAY, BUT, UM, HE GOT THE PROPERTY.
I ASKED HIM BEFORE DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS WAS DELETED OR DIFFERENT OR ANYTHING OF WHERE HE HAD PERMITS OR NOT.
AND HE SAID HE CAN'T GET PERMITS UNLESS IT'S DELETED OFF OF THIS, THE CONDEMNATIONS.
SO I NEED CLARIFICATION AS TO, I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THAT COME TO ME AND THEY EITHER WANT A DEFERRAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT BY THE TIME IT COMES BACK UP TO US, THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR PERMITS OR CON AND OR CONTRACTORS OR BOTH IN PLACE BEFORE I WILL ACTUALLY PULL IT OFF.
SO I'D LIKE TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION BEFORE I EITHER DEFER OR DELETE THIS.
UM, IF IT'S ON THE AGENDA, IT CAN STILL GET A PERMIT.
IT'S ONCE IT ACTUALLY GETS CONDEMNED THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A PERMIT, A CONDEMNATION WOULD VOID ANY ACTIVE PERMIT, AUTO BUILDING AS WELL.
SO AGAIN, IN SPEAKING WITH THIS GENTLEMAN TODAY, HE WENT TO GET PERMITS.
UH, ACCORDING TO WHAT HE TOLD ME, WHAT WAS THE INTEREST
[00:15:01]
AGAIN? UH, 1 6, 3, 1 8 LONDON.I'LL HAVE TO LOOK IT UP AND I CAN SEND YOU AN EMAIL ON, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S FINE.
I MEAN, THEY MAY HAVE MENTIONED IT IN A, IN A, UM, I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S APPLIED AND HE HAS SOME CODE VIOLATIONS, BUT, UM, I'LL, I'LL LOOK INTO IT AND GET WITH THE PERMIT OFFICE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT OKAY.
SO I, AGAIN, I'M ONE FOR, WE KNOW HE'S DOING THE WORK, SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD, BUT HE'S DOING IT WITHOUT PERMITS, WHICH IS BAD, BUT HE WILL BE ABLE TO COME TO YOU ALL AND GET HIS PERMITS.
IF HE SUPPLIES THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN ORDER TO GET A PERMIT FOR THE WORK THAT HE'S PROPOSING TO DO AND, AND, YOU KNOW, HE NEEDS TO HAVE A CONTRACTOR AND BE LICENSED, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE THINGS PER THE STATE STATUTES FOR CONTRACTORS.
YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR, IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF, IF IT'S YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE, YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME EXEMPTIONS THAT ARE ALLOWED AND THEN THERE'S A, YOU CAN GET A HOME RENOVATION, CONTRACTORS, LICENSE, THOSE PEOPLE HAVE UP TO A CERTAIN DOLLAR FIGURE.
BUT THEN OTHER THAN THAT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A LICENSED CONTRACT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT JUST GENTLEMAN, WHICH IS TRYING TO DO GET THIS HOUSE BACK IN ORDER, LIKE I SAID, HIS ONLY PROBLEM WAS, HE SAID HE COULDN'T GET PERMITS.
AND I WAS EITHER GOING TO DELETE THIS, BUT IF NOT, WELL, YOU GOT A 30 DAY RECOMMENDATION IS WHAT YOU SAID OR JULY IS WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED.
HE SAID, SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE MADE AN INSPECTION ON THE NINTH.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD STARTED SOME DEMO.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, SINCE THIS IS, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A FIRE DAMAGE PROPERTY THAT KIND OF BE PRETTY INTENSIVE AS FAR AS, UM, A SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S NEEDED AND NECESSARY, ESPECIALLY CAUSE YOU HAVE, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO REDO ANY OF THE STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF THE BUILDING, YOU MAY NEED TO GET SOME FORENSIC, YOU KNOW, KIND OF ARCHITECT, STRUCTURAL TYPE DRAWINGS DONE, DEPENDING UPON HOW, EXCEPT FOR THE DAMAGES THOUGH, BUT WE CAN TRY TO WORK WITH HIM ON THAT AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY CONTACT.
I'D LIKE TO GO OFF TO THE 30 AND GIVE IT 60 DAYS.
WHAT ITEM IS THAT? COUNCIL NUMBER 48.
I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE THERE'S LIKE BASICALLY ALMOST NO HOUSE LEFT LOOKING AT THE PICTURE.
27TH IS JULY 27 IS ASTRA DATE.
SO YOU WANT TO GO THERE? THAT'S THE ITEM 48 ITEM 48 TO JULY 27TH.
BUT SO HE'S GOING TO NEED A LOT OF WORK FOR A PERMIT BECAUSE HE'S HAS NO ROOF ON THIS HOUSE AND IT'S JUST THE BRICK FACADE THAT'S LEFT BASICALLY, BUT THAT SHOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR HIM TO GET HIS AFFAIRS IN ORDER.
GOOD TO GET PLOT AND GET SOME THINGS STARTED.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER DEFERRAL AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, TO ENSURE THAT HE DOES GET A PERMIT AND DOES, YOU KNOW, START WITH THAT WORK BEFORE HE ACTUALLY DELETED, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE ADVISABLE.
AND AT WHAT POINT DO WE PULL THIS OFF? I THINK ONCE HE GETS A PERMIT ISSUED, WE CAN.
SO ONCE HE DOES THAT PERMIT, I CAN, I KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I CAN PULL IT OFF AT THAT POINT.
AND HE HAD A COUNCIL NUMBER FOR CONDEMNATIONS COUNCIL MEMBER KNOLL.
UM, NO, I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON WHAT COUNCILMAN MODE SAID, BECAUSE I'VE RUN INTO THIS BEFORE WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO PULL PERMITS.
AND, UH, I THINK IT WAS A DISCUSSION.
THEY SAID IT WAS BEING FLAGGED JUST FOR BEING ON THE LIST, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD DEFERRED IT AND THEY KEPT RUNNING INTO ISSUES.
AND IT WAS A SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET INTO, UM, SOME, SOME HEAVILY DAMAGED PROPERTIES, IT CAN BE, YOU KNOW, DIFFICULT TO GET ALL THOSE PAPERWORKS BACK, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A, YOU KNOW, AN OLDER STRUCTURE, RIGHT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE DRAWINGS READILY AVAILABLE.
WE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THEM AT THE PERMIT OFFICE FROM THE ORIGINAL TIME OF CONSTRUCTION.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING UPON THE, THE AMOUNT OF RESTORATION THAT'S REQUIRED, WHETHER IT'S STRUCTURAL, COSMETIC, YOU KNOW, DRAWINGS ARE REQUIRED.
AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY PREDICT THAT AND IT CAN TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
WELL, AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF WORK IS GOING TO DICTATE WHAT THEY NEED TO GET THE PERMIT.
BUT WHAT THEY WERE BEING TOLD WAS SPECIFICALLY, IT WAS FLAGGED BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE CONDEMNATION LIST.
WELL, I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ALL STILL PROCEEDING WITH, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT THEY NEED TO OBTAIN A PERMIT IN ORDER TO GET OFF.
AND THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IF WE CAN JUST ARTICULATE THAT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE TO THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DEAL WITH THE CONSTITUENTS TO KNOW THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN THEM BEING ON THIS LIST DOES NOT PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PERMITTED.
IN FACT, WE ENCOURAGE THEM MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PERMIT PROCESS.
I MEAN, WE HAVE, WE KNOW WE HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE IN THIS PARISH AND WE NEED TO RETURN AS MANY STRUCTURES TO COMMERCE AND, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE CONSTITUENTS LIVING IN THEM.
[00:20:02]
ANYONE ELSE FOR CONDEMNATION? YES.AND RACHEL AND BLAKE, I APPRECIATE YOU ALL IN WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THAT PERMIT OFFICE AND IT'S GETTING BETTER, BUT IT'S GOING TO NEED TO GET TO BEST.
UM, AND WHAT I SEE, I SEE I, I CAN SPEAK FOR 10.
THERE'S A LOT OF BLIGHT AND THERE IS SOME CRIME AND ALL OF THAT GOES HAND AND HANGING.
I'VE HAD THE CONTRACTORS COME TO ME ABOUT THE CUMBERSOME ON, UM, THE, THE, THE, THE PROCESS, THE PERMIT PROCESS.
SO WHAT I SAID TO THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO GET, AND BLAKE WAS BLAKE, RACHEL, EVERYBODY TO THE TABLE IN ORDER THAT ALL FULL PROOF STEP BY STEP PROCESS CAN BE OUTLINED IN ORDER THAT THERE WILL BE NO QUESTIONS BECAUSE WHAT WE WANT IS TO GET THAT BLIGHT PUT BACK JUST AS YOU SAY IT, GET SOMEBODY IN THOSE HOMES AND DO THAT.
SO THAT'S DEFINITELY A NEED THERE.
I HAD CONTRACTORS TO COME AND THEY CALL AND THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF MY DAY.
AND THEN WHEN WE SAY THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT'S OUR JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE AND, UH, SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED TO DO ON THE FRONT END, AND THEN ANYBODY THAT HAVE RESTORED ANYTHING.
AND I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'LL TELL THEM THAT, WELL, YOU WENT IN AND CHANGED FIVE BOARDS.
WELL, IF YOU ALL RESTORE ON ANYTHING, YOU MAY SAY YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE TWO, BUT ONCE YOU GET IN THERE AND START MOVING THOSE BOARDS, YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE FIVE OR 10 YEN.
THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS THERE.
SO DEFINITELY I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO HAVE JUST A FOOLPROOF, ONE SHEET OF CONVERSATION, UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PERMIT PROCESS, AND, AND THEN KNOW THAT THAT BLIGHT IS CONNECTED TO THAT CRIME BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE EMPTY BLIGHTED HOUSES, THAT'S WHERE THEY HANG.
AND SO WE'VE GOT TO GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH THAT.
JUST, JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT.
I HAVE BEEN MYSELF WORKING ON OUR WEBSITE FOR DOD AND UNDER THE PERMIT OFFICE AND BEEN TRYING TO KEEP THAT INFORMATION IS UP-TO-DATE AS POSSIBLE AND, AND HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED IN ORDER TO GET A PERMIT.
AND SO THAT EVERYTHING IS THERE.
THERE'S SOME GREAT FAQ'S THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, AND WE'RE CONSTANTLY ADDING THAT INFORMATION.
SO THAT'LL BE A GOOD RESOURCE FOR YOU TO POINT THEM THERE.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH YOUR MEETING, THAT BLAKE, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO GET TOGETHER IN THE PRESENTATION.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN PUT SOME OF THAT INFORMATION ON THAT WEBSITE, YOU KNOW, AS WELL TO HELP EVERYONE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE LOVE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, HELP PEOPLE GET A PERMIT.
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF ANY CHANGES OR ANY PROCESSES.
AND THEY'RE ON BOARD BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TRYING, WE'RE PROVIDING THEM A SERVICE, BUT WE WANT THEM TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT SERVICE.
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FEELING COMFORTABLE.
MA'AM IF IT'S A BOY, IF IT'S A HOUSE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE WORD.
IF YOU CHANGE, YOU KNOW, AND IF YOUR SCOPE CHANGES DURING THE TIME OF YOUR RENOVATION, YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, WE, YOU, THERE IS A PROCESS.
YOU JUST COME AND YOU SAY, OKAY, MY SCOPES CHANGED AND YOU MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
AND THERE'S A LIMITED YOUR INSPECTORS THAT ARE COMING OUT TO LOOK AT THINGS THEY KNOW WHEN SOMETHING HAS REACHED THAT NEXT THRESHOLD.
UM, AND THEY CAN HELP YOU FIGURE THOSE THINGS OUT AND SEE IT'S EASY, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE PROCESS, BUT HAVE GOOD INTENT TO COME IN AND DO SOME STUFF IN OUR DISTRICTS.
I, IF YOU COULD STAY AT ONE MORE SECOND, PLEASE, YOU IN THE HOT SEAT RIGHT NOW.
SO I HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE A TRULY HEAVILY BLIGHTED DISTRICT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, UM, TO REMEDY AND I'VE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE.
SO I'M NOT GONNA BEAT A DEAD HORSE THERE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, JUST GETTING THE PERMIT TO GET THE SIGNS TO BE A CANDIDATE WAS TOUGHER WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAN IT WAS MY PREVIOUS TIME AROUND.
SO I WILL TELL YOU, UM, WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR, WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR PERMIT? IS THAT LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR? THIS YEAR? OH, THIS YEAR.
SO THIS YEAR WAS TOUGHER THAN WHEN I GOT THEM IN 20, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20.
SO WHAT I, WHAT I WOULD ASK THAT YOU DO IS WHEN YOU GO TO THESE PROCESSES, ACTUALLY GET PEOPLE, AND MAYBE YOU DO, BUT OUTSIDE OF THE DEPARTMENT, LIKE CONTRACTORS THAT COME IN AND GET A SAMPLE SET OF CONTRACTORS, SOME WHO ARE SMALL BUSINESSES, SOME WHO ARE JUST JACK LEG, KNOW WHOEVER, YOU KNOW
[00:25:01]
WHAT I MEAN? HOME, HOME BUILDERS AND THE COMPANY AS A PLUMBER.BUT THE BETA GROUP WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO IMPROVE IN THOSE PROCESSES.
CAUSE I CAN TELL YOU FOR ME, IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING.
IF IT'S CHALLENGING FOR ME, I SELL TECHNOLOGY FOR A LIVING.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU WITH THAT AS WELL.
ANYONE ELSE? COUNCIL MEMBER, I'M GONNA READ THE RECOMMENDATION AND CHANGES.
THEY OUGHT TO PROCEED WITH ITEMS 38 41 43, 46, 47, 50 52 56, 57 AND 58.
THEY ARE TO DEFER FOR 30 DAYS ITEMS, 39, 44, 49 AND 53 DEFER TO JULY 27 ITEMS 42 AND 48 AND DEFER FOR 90 DAYS ITEMS 45, 54 55, 51 37 AND 40.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE, STATED RECOMMENDATION AND CHANGES.

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED, MAN? WHAT TO DO? WHAT OUR PARTNERS GIVE US SIX MONTHS.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO MAKE APPROVEMENT? SO WE CAN REMOVE THIS ITEM BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROPERTY AT ALL.
WE HAVE PICTURES FROM THE LAST INSPECTION.

THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME I CAN GIVE YOU IS 90 DAYS.
