People living in an RV storage lot in City of Industry have until Wednesday to leave as authorities work to clear the lot. Alex Rozier reports for the NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Monday, March 31, 2025.
A week after NBC Los Angeles first reported an RV parking lot taken over by the unhoused in City of Industry, signs of progress began to show Monday as cleanup work continued under the supervision of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Video from NewsChopper4 showed fewer RVs at the parking lot on Gale Avenue near Azusa Avenue showed about three dozen RVs, compared to some 80 trailers when NBCLA’s cameras first shot the lot on March 24.
While there were still piles of trash on the lot on Monday, a lot of them, including a broken car that had been tagged and surrounded by garbage, appeared to have been removed.
Uniformed deputies from the LA County Sheriff’s Department were also seen near the RV lot.
