The City of Atlanta Public Safety & Legal Administration Committee heard presentations from Code Enforcement, Municipal Court leadership, the City Solicitor, and Atlanta Fire Rescue. Key topics included how code enforcement handles housing complaints (including anonymous reports), possible amendments to the citys commercial harassment ordinance, municipal court caseloads and community outreach events, prosecutor metrics showing swings in code enforcement dismissals and resets, a special-properties enforcement update (blight tax and judicial remedies), and questions about out-of-service fire apparatus. Several councilmembers raised concerns about potential harassment of long-time homeowners via repeated anonymous complaints and about high dismissal/reset rates in code enforcement court. The meeting included public comment about safety and gentrification and closed with two memorial announcements.
