By a new work is understood every sort of edifice or other work which is newly commenced on any ground whatever. Where the ancient form of work is changed, either by an addition being made to it or by some part of the ancient work being taken away, it is styled also a new work. La. Civ. Code, Art. 856.
Black's Law Dictionary
Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910
A term of the civil law comprehending every sort of edifice or other structure which is newly commenced on a given estate or lot. Its importance lies chiefly in the fact that a remedy is given ("denunciation of new works") to an adjacent, proprietor whose property would be injured or subjected to a more onerous servitude if such a work were allowed to proceed to completion.
