The court order follows neighbors' complaints about the RV-packed site in the northern San Fernando Valley. Tenants say they'll go, but they don't know where.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday ordered all residents to leave a Sylmar property where RV dwellers have rented space and drawn complaints from neighbors.
The property, which straddles the cities of Los Angeles and San Fernando, has attracted dozens of RVers, with residents telling The Times that they pay a woman on the site $500 per month to live in the vehicles.The Los Angeles city attorney’s office last year charged Cruz Florian Godoy, owner of the lot, with two misdemeanors for unlawfully erecting a structure at the Sylmar property without applying for and securing all permits and licenses required, according to the criminal complaint.
“We’re trying to work with a lot of discretion,” Rodriguez said. “The more cameras there are out there, the less willing [residents] are to come forward and get help.” Alcala cried as she spoke about losing power Tuesday. “I don’t know where, but we need to go. It’s embarrassing.”
