Shreveport demolition lawsuits target condemned commercial property

The law lets Shreveport sue owners of condemned commercial property in the city to force demolition. Before suing, the city must give owners time to demolish the property and pay any liens on it. A city ordinance sets that deadline. The city can recover court costs, attorney fees, costs to find and notify owners, and costs to enforce and collect lien amounts. This authority applies even when other laws conflict.
