MOON, E.E., P.E. ASS T. INSPECTOR OF BU IL D IN GS November 21, 1966 Mr. Dan E. Sweat Director, Governmental Liason Room 209 City Hall RE: 741 Pryor Street, S.W. Camilla B. Stipe, Owner Dear Dan: The Housing Code Division has an extensive file on this property dating back to April 2, 1963. The case has been presented to the Municipal Court on two different occasions; and because of age and infirmity, the Court did not choose to impose a penalty. Miss Stipe lives alone in the property, and she does have several dogs as pets. Miss Stipe is apparently two years in arrears on her mortgage payments. The mortgage holder refuses to foreclose although at one time he agreed to work with us for the benefit of Miss Stipe. There have been numerous efforts to assist Miss Stipe, and she has consistently refuted· all attempts to ass ist. This property was a part of the "In Rem" hearing conducted in City Hall on September 28, 1966 at which time it was determined that the building is unfit for human habitation or occupancy, that it should be demolished, and the owners and parties in interest were so notified of those facts. Mrs. Lillian Chancellor, addressee of the letter you received, is Claim Supervisor for the State De partment of Labor . In my opinion, Miss Stipe needs to be removed from this property because of the hazardous and unsanit ary condit ion of the building; and she is a l so the sou l remaining white woman living in an all Negro connnunity. The December 28 date mentioned in Mrs. Cha ncellor's letter is the expiration date of the notice forwarded stating the results of the "In Rem" hearing. There is quit e a bit of additional information on file if it is needed. JSB:mse ATLANTA Tl-IE DOGWOOD CITY �
