Condo Q&A

Condo owner with handicap accessible van can't fit in garage space

Written by stephen polinsky | Wed, Jul 9, 2014 @ 12:54 PM

I live in a condo unit with a single car garage. I have MS disease and cannot walk, so I use a power wheelchair. I have a handicapped-accessible van with a side entry that comes down so I can enter and exit the vehicle. My garage, however, is not big enough for the van.

A new condo association called Condo Care took over last year. They sent a notice to me stating that, if I don't park my van in the garage, I will be fined 50 dollars for every time my van is outside. The problem is, if I park in the garage I am stuck in the van. I do not park in front of the garage door, I use the parking space next to my sidewalk that has a wheelchair ramp leading to my condo unit entrance. They have not responded since I've explained my condition to them. Can you help me please?
