Rockdale Apartments Blamed for HUD Fiasco in Atlanta
HUD oversight failed as the Rockdale Apartments were demolished after four years due to shoddy construction and widespread tenant abandonment. Court action was blocked by statute limits, with U.S. Attorney Harper noting inaccurate inspections and no tenant control. Rep. Levitas urged a full congressional inquiry into public trust abuses and future reforms. HUD Under Secretary Janis promised corrective action.
