Challenge
Our client, a property owner in Riverside, CA, faced a significant challenge with a large vacant property. A community of unhoused individuals had established a 3 zone, 7 camp encampment on the site, leading to a multitude of problems. These included:
-
Safety Concerns: The presence of an unauthorized encampment posed a potential safety risk for both the surrounding community and the individuals residing there.
​
-
Waste Accumulation: The encampment generated a massive pileup of trash, creating an unsanitary and unsightly situation.
​
-
Code Violations: The encampment violated various city codes, potentially leading to fines and penalties for the property owner.
Solution
As a leading commercial property maintenance and repair contractor in the Temecula Valley and Riverside County, we were were called upon to address the situation swiftly and effectively. Our multi-pronged approach prioritized safety for all parties involved:
-
Collaborative Communication: We established clear communication channels with the property owner, city code enforcement officers, and the Sheriff's department. Our pre-existing positive relationship with code enforcement instilled confidence in our ability to handle the situation effectively.
​
-
Safe & Humane Evacuation: Collaborating with the Sheriff's Department, we ensured a humane and well-coordinated eviction process. The Sheriff's deputies made multiple visits to inform the occupants of the upcoming removal and provided them with adequate time to vacate. Additionally, a deputy was present on-site during the cleanup to ensure the safety of both our crew and the departing individuals.
-
Efficient & Thorough Cleanup: Following the eviction, we deployed a large crew, accompanied by a Sheriff's deputy, equipped to handle a complex cleanup project. Over a two-day period, we meticulously removed all abandoned items and disposed of the accumulated trash in a responsible and eco-friendly manner.
Results
Through careful planning and collaborative effort, we successfully transformed the neglected property. The project culminated in a clean, secure, and code-compliant site, ready for its intended use. We promptly notified city code enforcement officials who confirmed the successful completion of the project, removing any potential concerns regarding outstanding violations.
