I feel your pain.
I used to visit a girlfriend who had an apartment in Glen Cove on Long Island, and the landlord let her park her car in the driveway but did not offer the same courtesy to me.
The little “circle” she lived on was desiganted a private drive and I was quickly informed that I could not park there either, as parking against the curb was against the rules. So I parked in back, on what was a public through street, in the normal fashion.
Next morning, on windshield: “The Blah Blah Neighborhood Association would appreciate it if you would not park here”. Also on windshield: ticket for parking too far from curb, ticket for no inspection sticker, ticket for parking within 50 yards of an intersection, ticket for no vehicle registration.
I go to library and look up the relevant municipal codes and get a tape measure and take some polaroids, then go to court and get all four traffic tickets dismissed (I had inspection sticker and registration sticker in my window, btw, visible through the windshield, but not yet affixed to the glass because the glass was oily and I hadn’t had time to clean it yet).
I also verify that it is legal to parallel park on the road where I had parked. I return and park again and a police car rounds the corner and a police officer sticks his head out and says “You know folks don’t want you parking there. Didn’t you get a sense of that when you saw all those tickets?”
“Sir, it appears that I have a legal right to park here, at least that’s my understanding. Correct me if I’m wrong. And I need to park in this general vicinity, and this is the only obviously available place to park.”
“Well, you can park there if you want to, I’m just telling you that the folks who live here don’t like it”.
Yeah, tough.
I write up a brief memo to the Blah Blah Neighborhood Association explaining that I need to park there, can do so legally, and will continue to do so, and that I’d appreciate it if they would refrain from placing anything on my windshield or encouraging the police to take action against me when I’m not violating any ordinances or laws. Got their names from the mailboxes and listed them all at the top. Added a “cc” line and listed an attorney’s firm in a larger nearby town. Signed it, xeroxed it, and placed it on every windshield of every car on the block.
No more problems.
