What you need to complete a report and encampment or tent on the sidewalk

• Snap a photo of the encampment (if it is safe to do so) but not required
• Make a note of the location of the tent or closest cross street
• Make a note of any risk factors (like blocked sidewalks) you may want to add to your report

Which campsites will be prioritized for cleanup?

• 8 or more occupied structures
• Block public sidewalks, paths, transit stations, restrooms or building entrances
• Prevent 6 feet of physical distancing
• Significant garbage or debris
• Evidence of conspicuous drug use: uncapped, used hypodermic needles or other paraphernalia
