New Orleans Enforces Healthy Homes Program: Two Large Apartment Complexes Found Non-CompliantNew Orleans has begun enforcing its Healthy Homes program, a year after its initial deadline. The program, established in 2022, mandates landlords register rental properties and ensure they meet safety standards. Two apartment complexes, Gentilly Ridge and Magnolia Gardens, were found unregistered despite their February 2024 deadline. Residents reported safety issues, such as the lack of smoke detectors. The city had previously sent letters and fined the complexes, but they failed to comply. After a fire at Gentilly Ridge, the city again requested compliance. Both complexes eventually registered, but face late application fees and potential further fines. The city is now using software to identify unregistered rentals, suggesting a significant number remain non-compliant.
