Mold, long dispute with condo board keeping man out of Sandy Springs home Over a decade after being forced to move out of his Sandy Springs condominium due to mold, a man is trying to move back in but can’t yet because of a legal dispute with his homeowner’s association. Frank Thomas, who bought a unit at the Sutton Pines condos in Sandy Springs in December 1992, lived there from then through August 2007, when he was forced to move out due to mold that accumulated starting in 2003 and was caused by a water leak coming from the roof of his building.

Thomas has been living in an apartment in Cumming since 2007, and in June the Sutton Pines Condominium Association filed a lawsuit against him in Forsyth County Superior Court over his failure to pay his monthly condo fees. The trial is expected to begin on March 18. Legal issues The legal battle started in 2003, when...

AJC INVESTIGATION: State and local governments in Georgia lack authority to address mold issues in rental properties Water poured into Madrika Gray’s apartment from a busted pipe last December, ruining her furniture and puddling onto the worn tiles. Then there was mold, which grew in dark, fine-haired blots on her furniture and made her clothes smell no matter how much she washed them. Mold grows in an air vent inside Madrika Gray’s unit at Forest Cove, near where a burst pipe in December 2017 caused a leak that has yet to be fixed. Tests at dozens of apartments there showed that their median mold spore count was double that at other locations tested by the same lab. Now Gray and her children wake up with piercing headaches. A throat and lung infection forced her to the emergency room. She blames it on mold, which continues to grow inside the drywall and through the paint on her walls, she said, but calls to management of Forest Cove apartments, city of Atlanta code enforcement , and...
