Homeless encampments on private property can quickly become significant nuisances, not only for the property owner but for the entire neighborhood. These encampments can lead to safety concerns, including increased risks of crime, fire hazards, and unsanitary conditions, which threaten the well-being of nearby residents and can cause property values to decline. Additionally, the presence of an encampment can tarnish the appearance and reputation of the community.
To address these issues, it’s crucial for property owners to take proactive measures to prevent the formation of homeless encampments. This isn’t just about protecting your investment but also about ensuring the safety and quality of life in the surrounding area. When an encampment is left unchecked, it can attract illegal activities, creating an unsafe environment for both the occupants and the neighborhood.
Handling these situations requires both legal and humane considerations. Local laws often mandate that property owners follow specific procedures, such as providing notice to occupants before any removal actions. This legal framework ensures that the rights of homeless individuals are respected while property owners maintain the safety and integrity of their property.
Hiring professionals from LACPP.com to clean up the site, board up the property, install fences, and add security doors is a smart and effective solution. These experts are well-versed in the legal requirements and can ensure that the removal process is conducted safely and in full compliance with the law. By securing your property with proper fencing and security measures, you not only protect your investment but also contribute to a safer, more attractive neighborhood for everyone.
Taking these steps is essential for preventing future issues and promoting a secure, welcoming environment for all residents in the community.

LA’s Premier Property Maintenance Framework, Structure and Boarding Expertise
Emergency Board up and Wall Rebuild
I received a call from a business owner of a local Dry Cleaners – Laundry Service. The business is located in the northern part of the city. Overnight a car crashed into the store front damaging the main front door, the wood frame, a glass and block wall.
The business owner believes that the vehicle crashed into his business LA, CA about 3 am.
Importance of Emergency Board Up Services
The owner called a few handymen that had done work for him in the past. They refused to board up the store front. They believed that there was structural damage to the building and the building had been compromised.
When the vehicle hit the storefront. The impact damaged the support column, the door jam, the king stud, the header, the trimmer stud, the top plate and the striker jam. The car’s impact moved the wall over 4ft. The header, and the top plate collapsed approximately 2 ft.

When the business owner showed up to his business, he was in shock. He did not know what to do first. He called the local police to file a report. He called his insurance company to let them know of the incident.
The insurance company instructed him to secure and board up the building.
In the dry cleaners – laundry service there was tens of thousands of dollars of his clients’ clothing. He was responsible for his clients’ clothes. The dry cleaners probably had $100,000.00 of equipment.
The insurance company informed him that they would only cover the damaged wall. They will not cover additional losses. The building was wide open, and un-secure. Most of the front wall was damaged. They will not cover his client’s clothes if it gets stolen in the middle of the night. They will not cover his equipment if it gets stolen or damaged in the middle of the night.
This was very concerning to the owner of the dry cleaners laundry service. He knew from many years of being in the dry cleaning business that his clients brought him their favorite clothes. He felt responsible for his clients’ clothing. It was everything from irreplaceable jackets, favorite suites, woman skirts and the list goes on.

I was about 20 minutes away. When I arrived he was so happy.
I looked and assessed the job.
As I was making a material list for the job. He said do not worry about the debris from the broken wall he would take care of it.
I let him know that we could take away the debris if he wanted. He said yes please take away the debris. He let me know that all the other board up companies that he had contacted told him they could not haul away the debris.
I let him know that my crew with my dump truck was at another site. We could haul away the debris from the damaged wall.
I gave him the quote. He agreed and asked if we could do it the same day because he was tired of sleeping on the concrete floor.
I pulled one of my crews from a different job site.
I made a material list and rushed over to the lumber yard to get the materials.
My crew got to the job site before I got back from the lumber yard.
They started the clean up. We cleaned up the site. We hauled away the broken cinder blocks, the damaged lumber, the broken glass…

It was New Year’s Eve. I was looking forward to an easy day. And I was looking forward to a nice New Year’s Evening Feast.
I received a text from a previous client. I need a board up.
I could not answer right away because I was driving on the freeway. I was going to call him once I was off the freeway.
5 minutes later, my phone rang. I was not off the freeway yet.
I need a board up—I texted you.
There goes my easy day, I thought to myself.
I asked, “What happened?” I had a break-in at my store. They broke my front door. I asked my client to send me a pic.
Emergency Board UP Los Angeles
As I saw the picture, I was shaking my head.
The robbers had broken his front glass door. The whole storefront is made up of glass panels and two doors.
This was not going to be an easy fix.
I let my client know that I was on my way to see what was going to be needed.
He was relieved. He knew that I could do the job and that I had his best interest at heart.
Once I got there, he told me he wanted me to build an access door.
He needed a way to lock up the store at closing, and it needed to be secure.
I responded, “It is going to be expensive.
I explained to him that it was going to be expensive because his store front is made up of glass panels and two doors. Building an access door would require extensive work and materials to ensure security.
The cost would be $2,000.00
My client hesitated for a moment, considering the cost. But he understood the importance of having a secure store and agreed to proceed with the access door.
Looking for a better solution for my client’s problem, I asked him if he could use the other door. He had some shelving in front of it. I suggested to him that we move the shelving. Make that 2nd door his main door. And if I just board up the broken door opening, it would only cost him a few hundred bucks compared to the $2,000.
The guy was shortly relieved.
We moved the shelving that was in front of the door.
He tried all his keys, but none of the keys worked on the lock of the door.
Store owner looked stressed again.
I said, “Let me call a friend of mine who is a locksmith.”
I’ll see if he can come by and rekey the lock for you. It will be a much cheaper solution than building a whole new access door. And I will board up the broken glass door.
I called my friend. I told him the situation. He responded, “Eddie, it’s New Year’s Eve. I am looking forward to a nice and easy day. And I have a few things to do at my house. My grandkids are coming over.
My friend was just kidding around. He is the same as I am. When someone needs our help, we are there to serve our clients.
Brad said, “I am 20 minutes away.
Brad showed up. He installed a new cylinder.
The store owner was going through a roller coaster of emotions, worried about his store. Whether it would be secure when he leaves the store locked up and un attended.
I boarded up the opening. I used the bolt board method. The bolt board method is when a sheet of plywood is placed on the exterior of the opening and 2x4s are used on the inside. Carriage bolts are installed from the exterior, through the opening, and fastened with the 2x4s.
Once the boarding up was complete, I reassured the store owner that his store was now secure. He thanked both me and Brad for our quick response and efficient work.
Once the boarding up was complete, I reassured the store owner that his store was now secure. He thanked both me and Brad for our quick response and efficient work.
He paid me for my services. As he was paying me, he handed me a $2 dollar bill. He told me it was his good luck bill and he insisted on giving it to me. I did not want to take his $2 good luck bill.
It was very touching for me. I looked in his eyes. And I knew it came from his heart. He was very grateful for me and Brad. We did the best possible job for him.I do not think anyone else would have had the expertise to do the job or that had a friend who was a locksmith that would have worked on New Year’s Eve.
This is how $2 bill, Emergency Board Up, and New Year’s Eve comes together.
I was grateful for his gesture and accepted the $2 bill.
I had helped a client in need and provided a secure solution for his store. The $2 bill he gave me served as a symbol of gratitude and appreciation. It reminded me of the unique and unexpected connections that can be made in my line of work. This experience reaffirmed my commitment to serving my clients and going above and beyond to meet their needs. As I reflected on the events of the day, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment in my chosen profession. The satisfaction I derived from helping others is what drives me to continue doing what I do, even on days that don’t go as planned.
