Sanitation/Street-Cleaning Sign Compliance – New Orleans Code §154-1683
Street cleaning citations in NOLA require permanent signs posted at conformity intervals, plus operational sanitation actually occurring. Common defences: (1) sweeper did not actually run that day (DPW logs requestable); (2) signs not posted at required intervals; (3) sign times don't match the schedule on the City's website; (4) holiday suspensions not honoured.
Legal basis
New Orleans Code §154-1683; MUTCD §2B; La. R.S. §44:1 (records on actual sweeping)
Sample appeal wording
Central Adjudication Bureau Re: Citation [CITATION_NUMBER] – Street Cleaning [DATE] CONTEST – STREET CLEANING NOT PERFORMED / DEFECTIVE SIGNAGE I dispute the citation on the grounds that: 1. The City's sanitation log for [BLOCK] on [DATE] [shows no sweeping occurred / is not produced]; the regulation does not apply when no cleaning is performed. 2. Signs at [LOCATION] are spaced [N] feet apart, exceeding MUTCD/DPW spacing. 3. [DATE] was a [HOLIDAY] for which sweeping was suspended per NOLA.gov. I request via La. R.S. §44:1 the DPW sweeping log for [BLOCK] on [DATE]. Dismissal requested. [NAME] | [DATE]
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
