Im sure he can and will be. Long legal battle for all of that.
Depends on who has what liability between property owner, developer, contractor, etc.
If there isn't enough insurance money to go around I guess the property could be an asset. Even when this property is empty it will probably be vacant for a decade or so.

Unbelievable. If it was my family, I would raise hell until the body was recovered. WTF??? How long has this shite been going on for, and they haven't retrieved that body?? Man, every single day that body remained at that site would be another day added to the pain and suffering portion of the lawsuit.

That said, is he not, or can he not be, held liable for losses that nearby businesses incur? I know the Saenger was closed for a good while and I'm sure there are other businesses adjacent to the site who can easily claim diminished profits/business
The project is owned by an LLC made up of Kallais, the owner of the GC (Citadel) and the owner of All Star Electric. It is a Delaware LLC. The LLC then hired the GC.
It's been suspected that this will easily exahust the insurance capacity of the GC. And the LLC probably doesn't have any other assets besides this destroyed building. So yeah, they have claims against the LLC, but to get any money out of this, they are going to have to convince a judge that fraud was involved, and pierce the LLC veil to after the LLC members, personally.

Hopefully I am.
I just foresee the property getting tied up in a legal battle.

Please tell me what you would like New Orleans citizens to do to help solve the demolition and on going legal issues surrounding it
Would you like them to hold a protest?

Would it be wrong to think Kallais believes as the property owner he will get to keep the property since the owner of the dirt won't have much liability?

Why not get a Coast Guard helo and lower a swimmer down? Do you realize how many rescues they did during Katrina.
So you want to a put a helo, and all the rotor wash, over an unstable building?
And clearly there is a difference between dropping a guy in a bucket to pluck a live body off a rooftop, and dropping a guy in a bucket between buildings over a roadway, to get a dead body trapped under thousands of pounds of debris?
How exactly do you plan to remove the rubble that's sitting on top of him?

Kallais' long game is probably this.
1) Sweep the upper stage of the project. Keep the parking deck.
2) Get the city to demolish the three other historic properties he owns that are adjacent to this property.
3) Build bigger project.
Kallais isn't acting like he has any liability here, that's for sure.

He may be looking at development of the other adjacent properties even if he loses this one to a legal battle.
Maybe he has deeper pockets than I assume, because it seems a lot of people would fold up shop and hide their assets while they fly to Panama.

It's that bitch's fault for not demanding the recovery of the dead body. I haven't seen the pic and don't need to see the pic...but I can tell you this:
I bet the body is not a black man. You could bet your arse on that. Otherwise, that bitch would be on TV every day until the body was recovered.

Oh, I 100% agree there's going to be a legal battle, but I think that's going to happen no matter what the city does. It just makes more sense to me to start that process now and get rid of that mountain of rubble sooner than to drag feet and still have that thing there next Mardi Gras and just starting the legal battle.
Someone's got to step up and be a goddamned leader for New Orleans in this situation and start swinging the city's weight around to get things moving. Pertinent sections on nuisances, demolitions, and dispositions of properties like this exist in The International Building Code and the city's building code ordinances for EXACTLY situations like this, and they exist to give a city some legal cover and allow it to do what needs to be done if the property owner refuses to.
But, unless the city starts using those ordinances, they push the day they can take action further and further back. There's a chain of events and due process that must occur to demolish a property if it isn't an imminent threat and that takes time to work through.

he's just gonna push it off on the GC. HE didn't change the decking span sizes himself, after all.
