Did have the citaition with me and when the owner came to site, he signed the citations. Did also serve the Notice to Vacate so that no one can stay on the property in the RV or in the house due to lacking utilities. Did do the posting on the front window of the house and the RV on the door side to enter the RV in the rear yard. Did go over on what needs to be done on cleaning the property, fixing the fencing and removing the vehicles from the property. The owner signed the citation and the Notice to Vacate and the building was secured while on site. Had to call T.E.P. to have the wires cut at the pole due to has added wiring to the wires on the top of the roof to give power to the RV and somewhere in the house.
