Parking use disputes and the Board duty

I am new at this, was told is a great source of knowledge and support so here it goes. One of our owners was using a parking space without permission, the owner after requesting the car to be removed, was ignored to the point he had to tow the car, to be able to use his own spot.

Now one is parking so close to the line of separation between the two, not allowing the full usage to forward the car properly and the problem is escalating.

Should this be a Board issue or not.? Thank you

It depends. What are the rules of the HOA in reference to parking spots? Do owner's own them? Are they considered "common property"? Private or public space? Does the HOA have a towing policy? If not, can it put one into place?

This is most likely going to turn into a neighbor vs neighbor fight. The HOA should NOT get involved with that. Call the police to handle what is breaking the law. However, if the HOA does have some responsibilities/involvement with the parking situation itself, best to review your options to enforce or not.

Who owns the parking spaces, Jim? Who owns the area around the spaces, the drive aisles, etc.?

In our HOA ,the parking spaces in underground garage levels are exclusive use common area and are deeded to owners. As exclusive use common area, the board has made a few rule, e.g., the one cite above. We also loosened an original rule which a stated that nothing except an automobile may be kept in the spaces. The exception now is one personal shopping cart may be kept in a space.
