By, *run around* do you mean phone chat? These items should be
discussed in their board meetings. Are you attending them, addressing
your grievance? Are they keeping minutes? Take pictures, document
every contact you have them. What do the bi-laws state about building
maintenance?
I bet ten bucks they would be on your ass if you parked in a
non-designated space.
