Q:  I rent a parking space as a residential tenant (it's rent-stabilized and separate from my apartment rental). I constantly have problems with other vehicles parking in my assigned spot. I’ve asked the management company to have cars towed but am told there is nothing they can do. I work varying hours and lease the spot so I don’t have to worry about parking when I come home.  Does the management company have to at least have a contact for a towing company on standby or is there really nothing to be done (posted signs do nothing)?
