One property can have a big impact on an entire block.
The City of Atlanta recently launched its Protect Our Blocks campaign to raise awareness about property conditions and make sure Atlantans know how to report potential code violations in their neighborhoods.
Property conditions can affect more than one home or building. Issues such as trash, overgrown vegetation, unsafe conditions and unsecured structures can affect the surrounding community.
Tenants and Neighbors Can Speak Up
You don’t have to own a property to report a concern.
If you see conditions at a home, rental property or other property that may need attention, you can report them to the City for review. Reports submitted through ATL311 are routed to APD Code Enforcement.
Homeowners, property owners, tenants and neighbors all have a role to play in helping keep Atlanta neighborhoods safe, clean and well maintained.

Some of the tools cities have to address distressed properties are governed by state law. Atlantans can also contact their Georgia State Representative and State Senator to share concerns about distressed properties.
