January 24, 1967 Mr . M . B. Satterfield Exec utive Director Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hu:rt Building Atlanta , Georgia 30303 Dear Mr . Satterfieldi As you recall , last September we experienced serious disorders along Boulevard betwe n Forrest Avenue and North Avenue . The people participating in these disorders and other Boulevard citizens who were not directly involved pointed to dilapidated and unsanitary ho-u sing conditions, over .. crowding and high rents as among th most serious problem which helped to create the conditions which generated the disturb nces. The City is anxious to proceed with a comprehensive Housing Code Compliance program along this street. We feel that through intensive enforcement of our housing codes we c n make a substantial impact on the improvement of living conditions in this rea. Since Boulevard fall within the proposed Bedford .. Pine Urban Redevelopment Project we ar-e anxious not to institute any programs contrary to the urban red velopment plan for th area. Would trict en£orcement of the housing cod long both sides of Boul vard between Forr t Av nue and North Avenue or Ponce d Leon be in conflict with the urban redevelopment plan for reh bUitation of tructure in this r ? Sincer ly yours, Iv n Allen, J~. Mayor �
