Message from the Vieux Carre Commission

“We at the VCC and HDLC are hoping that you and yours made it safely through the storm. Now that you are able to assess the damage please proceed with whatever you need to do to make your property weathertight. Repair roofs, replace flashing, seal windows and doors, etc. Returning your building to weathertight conditions is critical, as you well know. As the City works to regain power we are not in a position to issue permits or even reliably receive applications. Please proceed in the meantime but it is vital that you document the work so we can retroactively issue the requisite permits when we are able. This is not an invitation to do work that is not approvable or appropriate. This is only being extended on an emergency basis and only for work that is related to storm damage. Thank you and be safe!”
