Residents of a condemned apartment complex in College Park will be forced to leave by the end of the day on Saturday, May 31.

Just off Godby Road, the city’s Chelsea Gardens apartment complex was condemned over a month ago. City officials said issues like code complaints and violence were among the reasons they went through with a condemnation despite tenants still living there. 

One resident, Carolyn Huitt, is still grappling with finding another place to go.
