Any person who owns a building or structure in the City of Atlanta which, by its continued
vacancy, is subject to an unauthorized entry by other persons and has sheltered non-owners
or non-tenants, shall be subject to the nuisance abatement procedures hereinafter
set forth in this article.
(b)
Vacancy, as used in this section, shall be rebuttably presumed to occur in any structure
or building when such structure or building has no visible signs of human habitation,
as opposed to occasional human use by non-owners and/or non-tenants, for a period
of 15 continuous calendar days; and where such structure or building is in a dilapidated
condition, including but not limited to, broken window panes, broken doors, unsecured
doors and any other physical condition that might make an unauthorized entry possible
without force. This definition of vacancy shall not preclude any judge from finding
that any such building or structure is vacant under any other legally acceptable concept
of vacancy.
