    The City of New Orleans will exempt historic structures from substantial improvement and substantial damage requirements under the NFIP if approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. The International Building Code also provides exemptions for work on historic buildings that do not pose distinct life safety hazards or that are listed or determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Any exterior renovation of historic structures in New Orleans will still require approval from the local Historic District or Vieux Carre Commission.
