Case closed into Myrtle Beach home at center of ‘quality of life’ investigation, official says

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — The case into a Myrtle Beach home at the center of a “quality of life” investigation from April has closed, a city spokesperson told News13.

The Poplar Drive home was facing 24 city code violations, according to documents. Christopher Thompson, Myrtle Beach’s chief building official, said in the April 19 complaint that an on-site inspection two days earlier at the 1028 Poplar Drive home found dozens of issues that need to be addressed.

City spokesperson Meredith Denari said the 1028 Poplar Drive home “has come into compliance” and that the case was closed. Police had arrested five people on drug possession and resisting charges.

The city code violations included “being a structure unfit for human occupancy” and sanitation issues.
