Atlanta, Georgia t .,··, RE: Masonry Structure at 1821 West Anderson Av~nue,_ ~.W. Dear Mr. Inmon: . . ... . It has. come to my attention that ·you have not vacat~d ·or complied the above building. I had understood from the inspector who has talked with you that it was your intention to vacate this structure .and to bring it into full compliance wtth the code before it was reoccupied. An inspection on June 12, 1968, at the above mentioned address revealed that there were seven major structures on the property." One of . these is new and is in full compliance. Two of these which were extremely dilapidated have since then been demolished. Three other frame s tructures which are dilapidated are standing vacant. This masonry building was the only old

facility in use. In its present condition it constitutes ·a bazar4 to

health and safety. (1) As the housekeeping, particularly in the storage areas, provides a constant fire hazard and a breeding' place for rats and · other vermin. (2) The floors under the kitchen and in the bathrooms are decayed, have sunk and are in danger of collapse'~·,.· (3) There is puddling · of water in the bathrooms which cause a mos~ • unsanitary . condition. (4) The I steps at the side exit are unusable and must be repl aced. . , '... Unless this building is .made safe ~t would be my duty under Section 106.1 (a) of the City of Atlanta Building Code t·o dir~ct · that it be taken d~-n and removed immediately~ The purpo_se of this letter ~s to give you: ... 1. · A written notice that the ·building is deemed .unsafe with a statement of the particuiars in which the bu~lding is unsafe. 2. An order requiring the sam~ to be made s afe or ~removed as required under Section 106.2(a) of the City of Atlanta · JN,j.lding Code. �,_ Mr . W. E. Inmon ·Page 2 February 14, 1969 Two of the vacant wood frame structures should be kept closed until they are complied.
