SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH) and city leaders inspected Chapel Ridge Apartments in Jackson due to poor living conditions and trash overflow. City Councilman Vernon Hartley is advocating for an emergency declaration to use city and state resources to address the issues. The apartments, considered private property, limit the city’s ability to intervene fully. Hartley hopes declaring it a public health hazard will enable cleanup efforts, such as providing dumpsters. The trash problem has persisted for almost a month, and a motion for a potential cleanup process will be introduced at the next city council meeting.
