City closes Chatham discount store

A discount store in Chatham was closed on November 4, 2010 after inspectors found overflowing garbage in its Dumpsters and more than two feet of waste water its basement.

Family Dollar, 8341 S. Cottage Grove Ave., was inspected after complaints about the East Chatham store, according to a news release from the city.

Inspectors found between two and four feet of water in the basement near the sump pump and garbage bins overflowing outside the store, according to the release.

The store "will have to correct all these problems, clean the place from top to bottom, and pass a full reinspection before they can get back to business," Josie Cruz, Deputy Commissioner of Streets & Sanitation's Bureau of Rodent Control, said in the release.
