Illegal RV Park Raises Concerns for LA County Residents

Residents in Sylmar, Los Angeles County, are expressing concerns over an illegal RV park behind a home, citing unsanitary conditions and safety risks. The property, zoned as a single-family home, has seen a significant increase in the number of parked recreational vehicles over the years. Neighbors have reported sewage water flowing through the streets and collecting on sidewalks, with concerns about waste disposal. The caretaker claims the RVs provide shelter for those who have nowhere else to live. City officials are investigating the property for violations and compliance, but the case is complicated due to jurisdictional issues between the City of San Fernando and the City of Los Angeles.
