Residents of the fire-ravaged The Reserve at Lavista Walk have filed a class action lawsuit against the apartment complex’s owners.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the suit names Avenium Group and four defendants who owned and operated the complex.
The attorney representing the residents, Dean Doug, said The Reserve’s owner, Avenium, failed to repair a broken fire suppression system.
“They knew that they were out of code,” Dean said during a press conference on Nov. 18. “We intend to hold these people accountable.”
