After taking heat for suspending the work of a panel that reviews requests for demolition permits in many historic neighborhoods, Mayor Ray Nagin has agreed to stop issuing teardown orders for properties that usually fall under the committee's purview.
Such demolitions will be allowed, however, if the City Council member who represents the property gives his or her consent, officials said.
So... the NCDC review is still under suspension and it is now incumbent upon Council members to request a stay of execution for each property.
