An Atlanta woman returned home from vacation to discover that a company had accidentally demolished her house that she owned.
Susan Hodgson tells WAGA that she received a call from her neighbor asking if she’d hired someone to tear down the house, which had been boarded up for about 15 years. When Hodgson said, “No,” the neighbor said, “well there’s someone over here who just demolished the whole house.”
Hodgson goes on to say that the workers got nasty when confronted, telling her to “shut up and mind her own business.”
So she sent a family member over who asked to see a permit, which is when the guy realized he had the wrong address and “just [packed everything up and left],” she continues, “and the house is just (destroyed) down and gone.”
Hodgson says she kept the house “boarded, covered, grass cut and the yard is clean. The taxes are paid and everything is up on it.”
The outlet reached out to the company for answers. They sent a statement saying they are working to investigate the issue and say they are working on resolving the mishap.
