OVER 50 BLIGHTED PROPERTIES
TO BE AUCTIONED IN NOVEMBER
10,000 Blighted Properties in 3 Years
NEW ORLEANS, LA—In keeping with Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s commitment to eradicate 10,000 blighted or vacant properties by 2014, over 50 blighted properties will be sold at sheriff’s sale auctions this month on two dates—Tuesday, November 8, 2011, and Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Both auctions will take place at 12 noon in the first floor lobby of CivilDistrict Court.
The Landrieu administration has prioritized code lien foreclosure sheriff’s sale auctions in its blight eradication strategy as it is the most cost-effective way to seize and then return blighted properties back into commerce. Unlike tax sales, sheriff’s sales have no redemptive period. The Administration has filed over 1000 code lien foreclosures since October 2010.
The starting bid for each property is generally two-thirds of its appraised value. Upon successfully bidding on the property, the successful bidder must immediately provide the sheriff’s office ten percent (10%) of the purchase price paid in cash, money order, official, cashiers or certified check (no personal checks are accepted), plus their name, address, phone number, marital status and social security number.
“We are making great progress in our fight against blight,” said Mayor Landrieu. “Sheriff’s sales are really important tool for us in both bringing properties back into commerce and for collecting blight liens.”
It has been one year since Mayor Landrieu announced a new, aggressive blight strategy aimed at reducing blighted properties by 10,000 by 2014. Since then, the City has conducted 25,662 inspections, demolished 1,997 blighted units, moved over 1000 properties to code lien foreclosure, and collected over $1.4 million in blight liens and fines. As of last Thursday, the City has also held 26 BlightStat performance management meetings.
