Troy Carter Algiers property still sits blighted after neighbor complaints

When he was running for his current seat in Congress, former New Orleans City Councilman Troy Carter promised to move at “warp speed” to renovate a blighted, burned-out rental property he owns in Algiers Point.

But more than six months after the city granted him a renovation permit, and four months after a joint investigation by WWL-TV and The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate questioned Carter about years of code violations and delayed repairs, doors on the property were again wide open this week, with the side yard overgrown again and neighbors reporting no apparent progress with construction in at least six weeks.

“It's like Lucy with the football and he's coming up to kick it and she pulls it away,” said Ryan Hughes, who owns the house on the other side of the overgrown lot.

FACT...Politicians live by a different set of rules than the common citizens...no accountability. He probably doesn't pay property tax either...we already know that Mayor Latoya doesn't pay hers.
