'Really frustrated,' says driver whose HOA banned him parking outside his home – they gave him permit then took it away | 2YJY87S | 2024-04-23 12:08:01
A LAS Vegas man is furious after his homeowners association told him he couldn't park his truck on the street.
The man's Ford F-350 is too big to fit in his garage or driveway, so he's been left with few options.
"It's an unmodified truck. It's not like we extended it or did anything crazy to it, it just doesn't fit," the truck's owner, Dwayne Martinez, told local ABC affiliate KTNV-TV.
Martinez tried to fit the truck in his garage, however, the door would not close.
When parking it in the driveway, the truck's bumper hung over the edge into the street.
"You will get a ticket saying that you need to move the car or you will get fined or towed," he said.
Martinez feels that street parking is his best option, despite the HOA prohibiting it.
"I'm really frustrated," he told the outlet.
Martinez now has to pay to park his vehicle elsewhere, sell it, or move.
A manager for the homeowner's association told KTNV guests are allowed to park on the street – but only for a limited time.
They also shared that they've given the Las Vegas homeowner a special permit to park on the street for nearly two years, however, they recently decided not to renew it.
Martinez is now looking at new homes.

Barbara Rella said her family was visiting when they woke up to parking tickets on multiple cars.
"I had visitors here from New Jersey — my son and my brother. We went outside that night and we had $300 worth of parking tickets," she told ABC affiliate WFTV.
Rella protested the fines but was told that if she didn't like it she could sell her car or move out.
</div> </div> In San Francisco, homeowner Molly Calcagno was shocked to find a ticket on her Chevy Bolt EV after she parked in her driveway.
The California woman said she typically parks on the street, however, she is forced to park in the driveway when her electric vehicle needs to be charged.
Otherwise, she has to use an extension cord that would stretch onto her street to charge it.
During the charging process, Calcagno's EV blocks the sidewalk, as her driveway isn't long enough to fit her vehicle.
"I don't want to get sued," the EV driver told The San Francisco Standard.
"I think there needs to be some reasonableness, she said.
