Getting better as time goes on, but still not allllll the way there. Despite being the place of "all things business In New Orleans"; doing business here is a chore. Classic example of bureaucracy gone wild & red tape chaos. Several floors & different departments, however, they're all pretty much the same, less one or two individuals that "go the extra mile". Metal detectors & armed security at both main entrances, I'm sure there's a reason for this, other than the Mayor & other dignitaries being housed in this building; maybe something happened in the past. This is the site of property tax collection, permitting, other residential concerns & a host of many, many, more things. The architect of the building itself is historic, but needs some touching up, as it seems scaly inside & out. I love the marble floors with New Orleans Street names on them, the marble murals on the walls & the other decor that represent NEW ORLEANS; great for picture taking. Most of the employees here are civil service employees & well that speaks for itself. Hope as time goes on, things here are streamlined & WORK/FUNCTION/OPERATE as they should, less the red tape & bureaucratic-ness that fills the building.

This place is atrocious. Nobody knew where to send me to pay off a ticket and get my permit returned. Everyone is on their phones like they don't have government jobs. I was referred or just handed off to at least 6 people before they got me squared away. Very disorganized. Very nonchalant and not particularly professional. And it took over an hour.

Very cool mid-century modern building. Filled with Asbestos and soon to be demolished, I was told.
