‘Humanitarian crisis’: Jackson could be forced to demolish apartment complex

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The City of Jackson sent an ultimatum to the owners of an apartment complex that was covered in mountains of trash just last week.

City Attorney Drew Martin sent a letter to X-Caliber Funding, LLC, on May 23, saying if conditions at Chapel Ridge Apartments do not improve, the complex could be demolished.

“What I do know is that the residents are suffering in what could quickly become a humanitarian crisis,” said Martin.

X-Caliber potentially owes millions in unpaid bills. According to Martin, the owners owe $700,000 to JXN Water alone. He said JXN Water has temporarily postponed terminating water service to the apartment complex.

Due to unpaid bills, Chapel Ridge’s dumpsters were taken away, causing trash to pile up. The City of Jackson has since placed a dumpster at the location until further notice.

If X-Caliber does not comply, Martin said the city would be forced to find a way to humanely evacuate the complex, board it up and likely demolish the structure.
