South Fulton homeowners say that they’re doing whatever it takes to keep squatters from taking over an abandoned home in their neighborhood.
The homeowners reached out to Channel 2 Action News after they say the home has become a danger to the community.
Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln started checking into the property, and its owner, and learned the house has sat empty for years.
They say it may not look like it, but the community has stepped in to make sure the home looks somewhat lived in as a way to prevent squatters from moving in.

It’s abandonment and neglect, which the South Fulton homeowners living nearby said you can’t see from the street.
“This is a great home, a great subdivision,” Wells said.
But what’s behind the door is what homeowners describe as a safety hazard.
