The building is more than 50 years old, which qualifies it as a historic site, and is located in the historic district of Treme. The New Orleans Historic District Landmark Commission frowns on demolition of such buildings, usually recommending redevelopement instead, according to sources in that office.

So demo the building, but be sure to invite the Commission members, so they can all come out and frown at you....
I'm not reading that it would actually be illegal to tear it down.
Just because it's 50+ years old doesn't necessarily mean it's 'historic,' does it?
