Council votes to demolish condemned house at 74364 North River Road
Summary
The Tangipahoa Parish Council voted unanimously (one member absent) to deny the property owner more time and hire a contractor to demolish the condemned structure at 74364 North River Road in District 1 after a blight agent reported no responses to correspondence.
The Tangipahoa Parish Council on Jan. 26 approved a motion to proceed with demolition of the condemned structure at 74364 North River Road in Kentwood, Assessment #6150055, District 1.
Terry Lane, identified in the record as a TPG blighted property agent, reported to the council that "no responses have been received to any correspondence sent" regarding the property. Following that report, Councilman Darrell Sinagra moved that the parish not give the owner any further days to comply and instead hire a contractor to demolish the structure; Councilman John Ingraffia seconded the motion. The motion passed on a roll call vote with all present voting yes; Councilman David Vial was recorded absent.
The vote implements the council's authority to remove blighted structures after required notice and aligns with the hearing held earlier on the condemnation item. The council did not record any public speakers on the item during the public hearing period.
The council's action directs staff to arrange contractor services to remove the structure; the meeting minutes do not specify a contractor, demolition timeline, or funding source for the work.
