I own a condo in California, in a 5 unit building. We have a gated entrance to enter our subterranean garage, which is simply a driving area to get us to our private garages. A neighbor keeps parking in front of my garage, blocking my private garage access. I have notified him and his wife, who is our HOA president. 6 months and 6 offenses later, they still do not communicate. I requested issue to be on HOA meeting agenda and HOA president said no. I called police who advised me to have a towing company post a sign over my garage, and I signed an authorization with the towing company. The HOA is telling me to remove the sign because I needed HOA approval to post it. (The president wouldn't put issue on agenda!). The police say that I have a right to post the sign, regardless of the HOA rules. Who is right, and how do I protect myself? At this point, removing the president from office is going to be hard because the neighbors are friends and staying quiet. I simply need help to answer question on right to post the towing signs, and getting the HOA to back off. Can anyone help?
