I am pretty sure the guy lives in the RV, and it appears that he has a family member in the adjacent apartment complex. Maybe it would be good to check in with her first?

It's not legal to park an inoperable vehicle on a public street. It has to be moved or it will get tagged and towed.

The owner of the RV / renter of the warehouse (black one at end of 61st Pl) has been asked by neighbors not to live in/leave his RVs. There's a 72-hr move requirement for all vehicles. There's urine leaking onto the street from the RV toilet. I reported this to abandoned auto on On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 1:05 PM, with no response or action.

City of Oakland Public Works Agency referred this issue to OPD, PWA CONTACT service request # 514772.Please contact that agency to follow-up, see “Other Helpful Links” at:

Thank you.

RV is still there, junk is accumulating in its vicinity. It is a magnet for blight.

It was reported back on 4/25/14. Bummer that it's still there.

So, are we expected to continue to call Abandoned Autos???

(510) 777-8622 (abandoned vehicles on the public street after 3 days). Why is there no action by them as yet? Friends in the department, perhaps...

I think it's due to the sheer volume of abandoned vehicles (and trailers and boats and lord knows what) on Oakland's streets. This one may be more of a problem because it appears to be inhabited but the law is that inoperable vehicles may not be parked on a public street. I sent it to abandoned autos again yesterday.

is this guy a homeless guy in need of assistance? i'd focus more on how you can assist this person and understand how he may become a part of the community rather than how you can dispose of him and his possible house. i have no problem with people parking their homes here; where else do they have to go? thats why they are here. how can you lift up other people rather than seek to meet your own needs for comfort? its a challenge.

argument by judge that bans on these vehicles is discriminatory and unconstitutional;

we had friends stay overnight in their bus RV; one of them took a leak out back and the neighborhood response was inappropriately hostile toward the young people, as well as engaging the police. all it took was one person to talk with me, which occurred, but that didn't satisfy others. we knew it had more to do with judgement and hostility than someone peeing in the street in our neighborhood. all moralism aside, people who live in RV/Buses/ cars face harsh realities to find safety and peace for the night. I would agree that abandoned, junk or just empty resting and business vehicles is not good. when you turn in that residential vehicle, you do not know what the person is suffering health or economically, but know they likely can't handle legal problems nor do they have many safe alternatives. just food for thought.

It"s illegal..we had a rv by our house and when they left their feces tank fell off and they just left it there being nasty. Homeless or not there are rules to follow.

rules or not, they are likely discriminatory and possibly unconstitutional. i know it sounds dignified and right, yet still there is someone struggling right there (no need to go to the middle east to help); help. Calling police, calling and following "rules" (conveniently made by those who are not marginally living). I made the error of having the same attitude when I moved here; just wanted things cleaned up asap. After time, I began to see how my rightness was actually causing harm to people who had lived here for decades (people of color, homeless, mentally ill). when i saw the double standards played out by new comers toward businesses and other new comers (or white people), I began to notice there was something discriminatory and hostile about the neighborhood development, policing and gentrification activities. I work with the shame of my past and do my part to change how I move about occupying my neighborhood. i can complain about how the US occupies the middle east, but how do I occupy my own neighborhood. it starts at home. go down there and figure out how you may help the person; new tire? parking place? food? or maybe distance and tolerance if not acceptance.

We have given to the homeless a number of times and have not a problem with them but they have to follow the rules like the rest. There is a mike church at 510-238-6590 that reaches out to the homeless, give him a call and see if he might be able to help this person. Have u written the mayor with any solutions?

this is ancient
