St. Charles is not Kenner
Destrehan starts where Kenner ends, and the permit office changes with the parish line. St. Charles Parish permits Destrehan. The City of Kenner does not. The houses can look similar from Airline Highway. The paper and the wind on the river side are not the same conversation as a Kenner subdivision.
Ida’s wind in 2021 is the local history that matters. A street can hold a full tear-off from that year next to a roof that was tarped and repaired. We do not assume the neighbor’s roof tells us the age of yours. We look at the mat, the fasteners, and the deck.
