As previously reported by News Center 7, the rubble has been sitting at the 3500 block of Cornell Drive since a fire destroyed Cornell Meat King Supermarket last October.
The building was destroyed after crews decided it could not be saved, and they put up a fence to keep people out.
A judge told the owner, Safi Husman Ali, that the property had to be cleaned up.
But he missed a court appearance for a public nuisance related to the rubble.
The judge issued a bench warrant for Ali.
A regular customer told News Center 7 that the owner and his employees always treated him like family.
'I went every day. Every day, because I liked it, I knew everybody down there,' said Fred White.
Neighbors said that the wind blows some of the loose debris around the neighborhood.
We will update this story.

Duluth police officer commended for rescuing 4-year-old girl from pool while off duty
A Duluth police officer who was relaxing at a pool while he was off duty sprang into action to rescue a 4-year-old girl. The girl's mother told police that her daughter, who typically wears 'floaties' while swimming, jumped into the pool without them on Sunday. Officer Preston Marsh noticed the girl struggling and ran about 25 yards across the pool deck and jumped into the water to save her. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Her mother told police, 'It was only the sound of his feet on the concrete that alerted me and the other adults to anything happening. I truly don't know what would have occurred had he not been on high alert and jumped in to save my sweet four-year-old.' Police said Marsh downplayed the act as something any parent would do, but Chief Jacquelyn Carruth said in a statement: 'When you truly have a heart to serve others, as police officers do - it doesn't 'turn off' when you clock out for the day. This incident is a shining example of Officer Marsh's dedication to public safety and yet another example of the outstanding work being done by our officers both on and off duty. I am very proud of the actions Officer Marsh took in order to save the little girl's life.'

Ex-sheriff Victor Hill plans to run against Rep. Nikema Williams in Democratic primary
Former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill announced on Tuesday night that he plans to run for Congress. Hill, who was released from federal prison last year, said he will challenge Georgia Rep. Nikema Williams in the 2026 Democratic primary. Williams, who succeeded the late Rep. John Lewis in Georgia's 5th Congressional District, was re-elected in Nov. 2024. Hill said he was encouraged to consider a congressional run by his fellow inmates at Forrest City Federal Correctional Institution in Arkansas. 'They also became my political advisors.. it was their idea,' said Hill in the announcement on his podcast. 'They are the ones who told me that hey, a convicted felon can run for Congress.' [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Hill served as Clayton County Sheriff for nearly 15 years before he was found guilty of using unreasonable force and violating inmates' constitutional rights in 2022. Jurors found that Hill caused physical pain and bodily injury to six men by strapping them down and leaving them in restraint chairs inside the Clayton County Jail, sometimes for hours. After his guilty verdict, the state revoked Hill's law enforcement certification. Under Georgia law and POST rules, an officer is not allowed to continue in that capacity with a felony conviction. Hill served 18 months in federal prison before he was released in 2024. A felon convicted in federal court can run for Congress. RELATED STORIES: Former Clayton Co.
