Compliance with city ordinances is not condition precedent to condemnation.

- Though the housing authority under Ga. L. 1937, p. 210, § 13 (see now O.C.G.A. § 8-3-7) is amenable to the zoning ordinances of the city, a compliance by the defendant authority with such ordinances and regulations is not made a condition precedent to the condemning by the authority of private property by exercise of the power of eminent domain, and the fact that the property sought to be condemned has not been zoned by the municipality for the use contemplated by the authority is not a valid ground or reason to enjoin it from proceeding with the project. West v. Housing Auth., 211 Ga. 133, 84 S.E.2d 30 (1954).

Duty to inspect for smoke detectors.

- In its capacity as administrator of a federal housing program, when qualifying a house, a city housing authority was considered an "owner" under an applicable city ordinance and thus had a duty to inspect the dwelling and, if necessary, provide a smoke detector. Housing Auth. of Atlanta v. Jefferson, 225 Ga. App. 60, 476 S.E.2d 831 (1996).
