Hello I'm from Connecticut.
I live in a condo complex. My new neighbor has a commercial vehicle that is registered to his place of employement. He parks it here each night. The board of directors sent him a letter to remove his truck. He complained to them that it was his only means of transportation. They then told him he could park in his driveway. My bedroom is next to his truck. He leaves at 6am Mon thru Sat. It wakes me out of a sound sleep each morning. I have complained to the board. They said the by law says he can park in his driveway (after they sent him a letter to remove the truck). I am copying a couple of paragraphs from the by laws. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They sent 2 notices to my neighbor, one to move the truck and one that he could park in the driveway.
#12 - The parking areas shall not be used for any purpose other than to park registered automobiles. The guest parking areas are not to be used for the storage of trucks or other commercial vehicles. Such vehicles may only be parked in such areas as may be specifically designated by the board of directors, in their sole discretion. Each unit will have the right to park no more than 2 registered automobiles within the common elements, whether or not either one or both are garaged.
The bylaw was amended to in 1986 from this original rule:
Article IV, Section 9, part (f), states – “Garages are restricted to use by the Units to which such garage is a Limited Common Element, as storage and as a parking space for vehicles, specifically excluding, however, trucks, commercial vehicles, campers, and unregistered motor vehicles of any kind, whether or not garaged.”
Since they changed their mind after the first notice, does rule #21 stand?
#21 states, “Any consent or approval, given under these rules and regulations may be added to, amended or repealed at any time by resolution of the Board of Directors, after notice to and comment by the Unit Owners”.
There were 2 commercial vehicles that were asked to be removed a few years ago (after the amendment). I wonder why this vehicle has been allowed to stay.
I am woken up by the noise each and every day he starts and idles this diesel truck. Does this rule #7 protect me at all?
#7 “No unit owner shall make or permit any disturbing noises in buildings or by himself, his family, servants, employees, agents, visitors, and licensees, nor do nor permit anything by such persons that will interfere with the right, comfort, or convenience of other Unit Owners.”
This is a commercial truck not an automobile. What can I do? Thank you for any advice.
