Wildomar has sent a fleet of tow trucks to remove dozens of RVs illegally parked in the city since a homeless encampment was dismantled in Los Angeles County in early April.
Wildomar’s code enforcement department repeatedly warned the company that owns the trailers, Black Series RVs, and the property owner that the trailers could not be stored on a residential lot in the 20700 block of Palomar Street and needed to be removed immediately.
After the company failed to comply, Mayor Ashlee DePhillippo publicly announced April 16 that the city would obtain an abatement warrant to forcibly remove the RVs. The warrant was served at 8 a.m. Friday, April 25.
The trailers will be taken to Rivera Towing’s yard in Lake Elsinore and Black Series will have to pay a fee for each trailer to have them returned, according to a city spokesperson.
The appearance of the Black Series RVs in Wildomar coincided with the removal of a similar number in the City of Industry. In March, Los Angeles County officials found squatters had turned an unauthorized RV storage lot near the corner of Gale and Azusa avenues into a growing homeless encampment.
The property owner in Industry, Legacy Point LLC, accused Black Series of storing 100 campers on the property without permission and, in court filings, alleged Black Series refused to pay rent. A judge awarded Legacy Point $96,000 in back rent in January.
Black Series owner Hongwei “Jack” Qiu told NBC4 that people had broken into the RVs and the situation had spiraled out of control, with up to 60 to 80 people living in the encampment at the peak. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s homeless outreach team worked with those who had moved into the encampment to offer services and referrals for alternative housing, according to city officials.
Anyone remaining was forced to vacate by April 1 and all personal property, including the Black Series RVs, had to be collected by April 16.
A code enforcement officer in Wildomar first noticed six trailers on the Palomar Street property back in December. By April 2, that number had jumped tenfold and continued to grow over the weeks as more RVs were removed from Industry.
