Mazique's House Goes Down
New Times wrote about Mazique's legal wrangling over the rundown Victorian house in September. She came to our fair city from flood-ravaged New Orleans, where she had run an agency responsible for removing urban decay. Ironically, during her time in the Big Easy, Mazique bought a dilapidated house and moved it to a parcel of land too small to hold it legally. A soap opera, which included Mazique suing the city and the Times-Picayune bemoaning the "monumental mess," ensued.
Fast-forward to this past Saturday: armed with a demolition permit declaring Mazique's property "dangerous and hazardous situation" in "imminent danger of collapse," a work crew leveled the thing. An official with the city's department of safety and permits said the city will send Mazique a bill for the job.-Rob Jordan
