Background: 1709-1711 Marais Street had a generational family living in it. When they sold it, the investor immediately boarded it up and let it willfully fall into this state. It is salvageable.
SAVE THIS HOUSE: We, the residents of this neighborhood, oppose the demolition of 1709-1711 Marais Street. The historical fabric of our neighborhood is under assault and we will not stand for it. We request that the owners not be allowed a demolition permit and receive maximum daily fines until the house is repaired.

The vultures who own 1709-1711 Marais Street think they can just wait for the roof to cave in so they can flip the dirt for profit. I am in contact with city officials to demand these demolition permits are denied immediately. They are trying to erase our history for cheap gain and I am done waiting for them to do the right thing.

We need to stop predatory builders and asset stripping in this neighborhood. Enough!
Marigny resident, 2011 N Rampart, please do not let investors neglect allow them to destroy historic housing.
As a neighborhood resident, I do not want this house to be demolished. Our historical homes are part of what makes our city and neighborhood great. Please do not allow them to receive a demolition permit and fine them until they make the necessary repairs.
Demolishing this house would be a major loss to the community. Especially if it means replacing it with another apartment building.
Please don’t let a developer destroy this house. Keep our neighborhood authentic. It means so much to the long time residents.

Destroying a historical building for the sake of erecting a monstrosity is not only abhorrent, ot also doesn't align with the value we place on historical landmarks in New Orleans.
