Some concrete was recently torn up here (center in photo). SSD will continue working with Code Enforcement to determine whether the paving being done at 3114 Nashville adheres to statutory guidelines (i.e. no more than 40% coverage of the first 20 ft. of property).

Anonymous asked: WOW, I just saw a racoon on my side porch. I had food out there for the cats and he was helping himself to it. It ran away when I opened the door. He wais a cute little guy. The racoon must be living in the blighted house next door. Any suggestions as to what to do? Does SPCA handle racoons?

A: According to this page on their website, SPCA does not trap or otherwise deal with wild animals (unless the animal is in distress).  You can call LA Wildlife & Fisheries at 504-284-5269 for additional information on your raccoon issue.
