My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

I live in a 200 unit apartment building in Wilmington, CA. The building is made up of studio and one bedroom apartments only. The studios are assigned one parking space and the one bedroom units are assigned two parking spaces. There are four parking spaces in the entrance to the complex that are marked "Future Tenant Parking" These are for prospective new tenants who are here to look at the complex. There are also about 6 guest parking spots that say "one hour parking only". Other than that, there are no "regular" guest parking spaces and the street in front of the building is a "no stopping zone"

My question is, Is a 200 unit complex legally obligated to provide a certain percentage of guest parking on a first come first serve basis?
If there are such regulations, they would be on either the town or county level, and would be reviewed at the time of construction, and if there is such a regulation, and spaces are not provided, then there is no approval. The people who can tell you the answer is "code enforecment" for your town, and if you don't know who handles these matters where you are, then contact you local representative, which often goes by the name of "councilman", or "alderman". My wife work for "city planning" in a smaller town, and in that town, that department handles it, but in the city that I'm in, NYC, the buildings department handles it.

I owned condos I rent out, and one complex only has 10 guest spaces, and these spaces are always filled up. The front of the building is a major road, no parking, so visitors, myself included, park in the local neighborhood perhaps 2 to 3 blocks away, and walk it, which is not that unual, unless you come from areas where you park right out front and just walk in.
