An Oakland business owner who makes Argentinian empanadas is frustrated with a lack of support from the city after he says he has faced two break-ins over the past year.

Now he's struggling with a new challenge brought on by homelessness in the area. Javier Sandes. the owner of Javis Empanadas, told KTVU that an unhorsed woman has built an encampment outside his business, Javi's Cooking, on 2300 Broadway.He said that pleas to the city and the mayor's office have gone unheard. He posted a video to Instagram on Wednesday asking for help.

But after that, I haven't seen her around. I've been emailing her, texting her, videos about the issues that we've been having here in West Oakland, and I have no answer. Unfortunately, it's disappointing."He and his employees have been dealing with this situation for over a week. Sandes said the unhoused woman often relieves herself on the sidewalk, just feet from where his customers enter. He says things escalated last week.
