INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS Memorandum To: Mr. Howard Openshaw, Atlanta Housing Authority Mr. William Wofford, City of Atlanta Mr. Collier Gladin, City of Atlanta From: Mr. James Smith, City of Atlanta . Ci('t.k,..,,;rf'-Hr. Wallace Screws, Atlanta Housing)Authority Mayor Allen recently requested that the City further define and/or revise it's policies for Housing Code enforcement in Urban Renewal and N.D.P. program areas, including Vine City and East Atlanta Planning areas. Following this request, Mr. W. A. Screws, Chief, Rehabilitation Section, and myself have had several discussions regarding this subject. It is our opinion that the enclosed policy, dated March, 1969, would be instrumental in providing better coordination and underst anding between property owners, tena nts, the Atlanta Housing Authority , all City Departments and the public in general. At the same time this policy should reduce the number of structures becoming deteriorated and hazardous as N.D.P. plans are being formalized and activated. This draft is submitted for any change s you may feel are necessary, and subsequent action n eede d f or formal adoption so that the City's policy will be clear to everyone, both fr om a Public Relations' standpoint and f or assistance in preparing cas es f or l egal action, should this become necessary.
