What is the name of your state? Mass.
Two years ago, I had a new neighbor move in with, get this, FIVE cars. I live at the endo of a condo complex and to get out of my driveway I need to go straight back before I can turn out. Those new folks (and guests, and others) have been blocking me in for the last two years, as well as blocking the road which access my unit. I have been asking the board (and management) to help me as far as what I can do when I'm blocked in -- during this time the new guy joined the board. Great, I can't even leave my house if they have someone there, but now he's on the board! Fast forward to July of 2006: Last month we had a crew painting the condos when, over the course of two days, they a ten-foot pile of loom directly in front of my garage; later that day they left the crane there – the very next morning I had to move ladders out of the way before I could leave my garage. So I sent another e-mail saying, it's been over a year, there's not enough room for fire truck access, and I still can't do anything if I'm blocked in. Days later a letter appeared on my car window(written by the maintenance manager; management compnay concured with this action) saying I couldn't park there, and would have a sticker stuck to my window if I did. See, I parked parallel to my unit in FRONT of the garage, instead of insdie. BUT -- there are 30 other units who do this, who have the exact same garage set-up as us. None of these areas are deeded. The message was, "Well, if you complain, we'll just take away YOUR parking rights".
I have requested to speak at the next board meeting. Do you think there is anything I should point out? I am avoiding the term "selective enforcement". Does anyone have any views on this situation? Thanks!
