City of Atlanta Takes Legal Action Against Troubled Apartment Complex Owners

The City of Atlanta is suing the owner of a dilapidated public housing complex, Forest Cove Apartments, after spending millions of dollars to relocate the tenants. The city claims that the property owner, Ohio-based Millennia, failed to maintain the complex, leading to unsafe and deplorable living conditions. Former residents describe collapsed walls, rat infestations, mold, and constant crime threats. The lawsuit seeks to recover the relocation costs and hold Millennia accountable for neglecting their low-income housing properties. Millennia has filed its own lawsuit against the city.
