Grass Cutting (Lot Abatement/Chapter 66)
The City of New Orleans can cut the grass on private property when the owners fail to do so.
<br><br>
Why? Lot maintenance has a role to play in:
<ul><li>improving quality of life for all residents</li><li>creating safer, healthier neighborhoods</li><li>protecting property values</li><li>stimulating economic development</li></ul><br>
How? The City aims to make the most of the limited funds it has to cut a lot of grass that needs cutting by:
<ul><li>Targeting tipping point neighborhoods and lots near occupied properties, schools, corners and investments</li><li>Recovering costs by billing the property owners for the cuts</li><li>Building public trust to secure additional funding in the future by more quickly responding to resident’s requests</li></ul><br>
What can you do?
