It is pretty much the rule that when there is no visible certificate, there usually is no permit, let alone licenses, or knowledge of how to actually do the work safely, or how to do the work at all. I don't mean to egg you on to rat on the guy, but the poor condition of the structure really adds a giant unkown to the equation. This need a good stop work order slapped on it before someone gets hurt. The city is actually pretty good about stopping un-permitted work, you just need to call safety and permits.

B I just called in a house near you 2501 Bienville, they put a new roof on and it is collapsing. As well as remodeling far beyond the scope of the permit. Do you think Velocity Hall lists pulled permits? Varg..I think B is trying to get in on the act.

If he has no license and can't guarantee the house won't fall on yours and is digging into gaslines, then you need to take steps to have it condemned before these guys blow up your street. I know that more condemned houses are not what NOLA needs right now, but you need even less to have this house caving in. B., I’m really alarmed by this!
