As of June 1992, The State of Louisiana passed a law which states, “No permit is required to connect or re-connect a traffic signal light located on state property” (i.e. highways, buildings, etc.)
Effective September 14, 1995.
Whenever a permit or approval is required on a building with an address of upper rear or lower rear etc.—that address must be changed to read Apartment. A, B, C, D, or Apt .1, 2, 3. The owner will be required to send a letter to the building department of the city requesting the address be changed. Upper or lower rear are no longer recognized as valid addresses when filing for a permit. This same rule applies for vacancy permits. Also, meter bases should be marked correctly.
Do not tell the electrician to re-file for the permit using upper or lower rear.
