Residents in Atlanta apartments without water after city sues owner

The Brief

  • Some tenants at the embattled Fairburn-Gordon Apartments in Atlanta’s Adamsville neighborhood say they still have no air conditioning.
  • The City of Atlanta filed suit against A&B Apartments, LLC, the owners of the property, in an effort to mandate repairs. Court records indicate most repairs have been completed but about 10% are unresolved.
  • While tenants receiving a federal housing subsidy were relocated last year, market rate tenants remained and the apartment complex continued to lease to new tenants.
  • “I think the mayor should walk out here,” said Diamond Wyatt. “We shouldn’t live like this.”

ATLANTA Summer is here, and it has not been a cool one. So far, it’s been a tough season for some tenants at the Fairburn-Gordon Apartments in Atlanta.
