Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux has made enforcement of property standards a priority for his administration.
The number of cited properties:
2023 14,489
2024 16,525
2025 16,340
Structures demolished by the City:
2023 189
2024 229
2025 255
Cases referred to Environmental Court:
2023 357
2024 430

These efforts by Property Standards are commendable albeit unfortunate due to the cost to the City.
