An increase in homeless encampments and lack of action from city departments has business owners on the 19348 block of Londelius Street frustrated.

CBSLA Reporter Rick Montanez spoke to Houman Mika, the owner of a tuxedo rental store in Northridge, who said that business has been bad thanks to the environment created by a homeless encampment just outside his storefront.

Mika said he's called the police. He's called his local council office and other city departments hoping to get them to remove the items collecting on and sometimes blocking the sidewalk."It's not just an eyesore, it's also really a health issue at this point. We have people doing drugs. We've seen prostitution. We have seen... you name it," Mika said.

And a church next door told Montanez that its congregation doesn't feel safe anymore around the area.
