Los Angeles Department of Sanitation and LAMC 56.11 Procedures

This is a set of documents relating to the Los Angeles Department of Sanitation's protocols for cleaning up homeless encampments. The most important item is the Standard Operating Procedure for enforcing LAMC 56.11, the law which prohibits the storage of personal property on sidewalks. The City is presently enjoined by a federal court from enforcing this law on Skid Row, so presumably these immensely detailed procedural guidelines are meant to prevent that from happening in the rest of the City. It remains to be seen whether such a strategy can succeed.
