Some years ago the then Executive Committee passed a motion that of the six (6) visitor parking spaces three (3) could be used by both residents and/or visitors while the other three (3) were specifically for visitors.
Not trying to be a smartypants here, but declaring that three designated Visitor spaces can be used by residents sounds like 'hiving off' to me. Of course people with more cars than spaces are going to use them – did anyone seriously imagine anything else would happen?
If your EC is going to get all legal on rogue parkers, they really need to get their own house in order and scrap what sounds like an non-compliant decision to change the status of the visitor spaces.
I'm pretty sure that there are six visitor spaces because someone in the planning department has a formula based on the number of apartments in your building and likelihood of them being required. Just because a space is sometimes, even often, empty doesn't mean it's free.
And on the question of telling the landlords to tell their tenants not to park there, why jump through all those extra hoops?
The EC is entitled to write directly to tenants telling them that a) by parking in visitor car spaces they are breaching the building's by-laws and b) by breaching the by-laws they are in breach of their tenancy agreements and could be evicted.
I'm guessing that would get their attention.
And I hope the same diligence would be applied to owner-residents who also park illegally.
