It’s the second time crews have battled a fire at the troubled condos in the last few months.

No one was injured in the fire that happened Dec. 2, 2024, but 28 people were displaced.

Channel 2 Action News has reported on a number of past shootings, homicides and fires at the community.

In 2023, city officials took out warrants against the president and treasurer of Camelot Condominiums Homeowners Association. According to authorities, Bettye Ligon and Lyndon Baldwin Sr. are accused of receiving nearly $2 million in insurance money after two dozen units were damaged in a fire in 2020. Instead of cutting checks to fire victims, police say they kept the money.
