P.D. from outside of Connecticut writes:
Dear Mister Condo,
I own the upper condo with a renter in the lower condo. She threatened me with police and association complaint of me parking in my parking slot in front of sidewalks. 95% of parking slots are in front of the sidewalks. Does she have a leg to stand on?
Mister Condo replies:
P.D., I am sorry that you and your neighbor are at odds over the parking in your condominium. Surely, there are rules from the association as to what is and isn’t allowable. I can’t imagine the police getting involved on what happens on association property that the local municipality has no control over. If you have somehow blocked the entrance to her unit with your parking, she may have reason to call the police but other than that, this is an association matter. If you are violating association parking rules, then, yes, she has a leg to stand on and you may be fined and/or towed for violating the parking rules. If not, this is just an unfortunate situation between neighbors. If you can’t work it out amicably, you may be in for a contentious relationship with your neighbor but that may say more about her than you. Good luck!
