New Orleans

Description

The Parrishes may rebuild their termite-collapsed garage on its original footprint, over neighbor objections about the servitude, an unpermitted start, and feared conversion to an efficiency unit.

Impact summary

Covered off-street parking returns to the lot; the opposing neighbors' efficiency-unit worry is addressed by proviso language and a garage kept open for parking.
