TELEPHONE: 6B8 • 774B "PIO N EERS IN IMPROV E D RENTAL PROPERTY" CORNELIUS KING & SON RENTING AGENTS 200 AUBURN AVE., N. E. ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 J une 10 , 1969 The Hon orab le I van Al l en, J r. Mayor of At l an ta City Hall At lanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: At a meeting of s ome of the owne r s of the pr operty on Auburn Avenue between Piedmont and Butler Street, I was asked to write to you and bring t o your ~ttention a conditi on that greatly concerns usa For sometime, now, we have been interested in beautifying our block and several of us have gone to considerable expense attempting to do so. In spite of this, however, our efforts seem to be in vain because of the dilapidated and unsightly building known as #170-172 & 174 Auburn Avenue which is on the northeast corner of Pi edmont. It is my understanding that before the title was transferred to the present owner in September 1964 the previous . owner of this property had received a list of violations from the City. These violations were to be corrected and brought up to the City Code or the building demolished. Due to illness and some pressing financial obligations that prevented the owner from complying with the Code, it was necessary to sell. And, now, approximately five years after the sale of the property, the building still stands and those same viola tions, along with some additional ones, still exist. It seems that the present owner is ignoring the violations he inherited with the transfer of the title or he is not c once rne d about improving the appearance of our Great Ci ty and particularly the Auburn Avenue area. Withou t having mentioned this situation to any of the other property owners, I attempted to bring it to the attention of City Hall and made several telephone calls but to no avail. Each person to whom I talked regarding this matter referred me to someone else in his department or to an entirely different department. I am enclosing a copy of this letter with the hope that you will see that it reaches the proper official as I am honestly at a loss as to whom to contact �The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta June 10, 1969 Page 2 I feel sure that you are interested in the facts stated herein and will let me hear from you after having made the necessary i~quiries. Please, Mr. · Mayor, look into this matter and see that some action is taken to improve the northeast corner of Auburn and Piedmont Avenues. Very truly yours, (Mrs.) Nina King Miller encl .. �
