South Fulton officials are investigating whether the city has control over shutting down the privately-owned Camelot Condos near Old National Highway.
Councilwoman Linda Pritchett called an emergency town hall Monday to directly talk with residents about what’s possible for the complex.
Camelot has made a number of headlines due to its high crime and violence in the neighborhood, giving officials more reasons for its shutdown. According to city police, at least six people have died this year. The latest incident was earlier this month involving a 39-year-old man.
But the conversation around the condos has been around for a while. Camelot received significant attention last year when (South Fulton) Mayor khalid kamau moved there despite complaints of black mold, blight, and other unsafe conditions.
Mayor khalid recently called out several councilmembers on their actions surrounding the neglected condos. He claims this week’s town hall was “completely disingenuous.”
