Description
There are multiple RVs and vehicles starting up another homeless encampment towards the dead end of Vineyard drive in the field behind the businesses. There are more pictures, however I was only allowed to download 1. These vehicles are parked in the middle of a very dry field and we already had a fire 2 weeks ago. Catalytic converters have been stolen from vehicles parked in the nearby business park and employees are being approached and intimidated by the transients who loiter, panhandle and demand to use their vehicle or office electricity to charge their phones.
Please abate the situation as soon as possible.
Feel free to contact our office at 800-730-0073 (24 hour line) if you have any further questions.
Thank you.

Thank you for contacting the City of Antioch. We have referred your issue to the Parking Enforcement - Abandoned Autos Unit (AAU) of the Police Department (PD). Please allow up to 30 – 60 days for the matter to be resolved.
Through the AAU, the City of Antioch is committed to keeping our city streets clean. Antioch Municipal Code4-5.1206 requires that all vehicles parked on the street need to be operable, registered and moved every 72 hours. If a vehicle is not operable, but registered, it must be placed out of public view and/or in an enclosed structure. For further information on abandoned vehicles, please visit AAU’s website: https://www.antiochca.gov/police/abandoned-autos-unit/.
The AAU is also responsible for investigation any complaints regarding recreational vehicles/RV’s, boat and/or trailers. City of Antioch Municipal Code4-5.1223.1 states that no person shall park any recreational vehicle, as defined, on any street in any residential district except when such recreational vehicle is being actively loaded, unloaded, cleaned or repaired, and then for a period not to exceed 24 hours. For more information, please visit AAU’s website: https://www.antiochca.gov/police/abandoned-autos-unit/.
If follow up communication is desired on your complaint, please contact the AAU hotline directly at 925-779-6981. Please do not contact the Public Works Department (PWD) as staff at PWD are unable to provide any status updates.
