Description
The property is located NEXT to 2668 Semmes but has no number. Front door is open and hanging off hinges. Windows broken out, trash on porch and around yard. Unsecured building is a safety issue and months of accumulating trash is a sanitation issue. How much longer will these conditions be ignored by city?

The house is 2862 Semmes St. Up until a few months back, the City of East Point's excuse was "it is in court proceedings . . ." etc etc. That ended in November when they finally had their court proceedings. At that time, City of East Point came and cleaned up the sidewalk in front of the house and nothing else.
Does anyone know if we have a new city council member for this area? They should be brought in on this, Code Enforcement will do nothing and will get paid to do it.

Cindy - thank you! I will try to reach out to Lance Robertson.
Christina - I am not sure who owns this property. It was in court to remove the squatters who were living there - they were there for several years at least. They removed the main squatter, but as others have indicated, he had several "tenants" who still continue to frequent the property. In fact, the front door is now wide open again!
Anyway, I totally agree, the city should fine the property, and when it doesn't get paid, lien the property, and then place the property in in rem procedures so it can be removed from the owner's possession. Then they could sell it to someone who would fix it up so it could be livable.
