Atlanta inspects rental properties via complaint-driven enforcement under Code §54-46 and during business-license renewals. There is no proactive rental-inspection program in Fulton County.
Atlanta's Code Compliance unit inspects rental units when complaints are filed. Inspectors check minimum housing standards (Code §54-3 et seq.), including operable plumbing, electrical, heating, hot water, weather-tight construction. Citations result in NOV with cure period. Sandy Springs and Roswell offer voluntary rental-property inspections. Unincorporated Fulton County uses the same complaint-driven model through code enforcement.
NOV cure within 30 days; civil fines $200-$1,000/day after; criminal misdemeanor for serious habitability violations.
