Parking Rules in Managed estate - Visiting tradesmen.

Hi,
I have a duplex apartment where the management company introduced clamping a few years ago. I need to get some work done on the apartment which will take about a week. There is a text to park system for visitors. Basically in any 7 day period only 2 24 hour visits are allowed by a visitor - no exceptions. This is fine for a job that going to take a day or so but obviously is not going to work when I need a job that going to take more than a couple of days.

I spoke to the property management company and they said that they can add the tradesmen to a "safety list" for the duration of that job. This would be great but I don't see any regulation for this specific and not unreasonable case. There is nothing written down and there is always possiblity of the management company forgetting to add the regs to the "safety list" which means the tradesmen could be clamped.

I don't consider having a four day job having work done to an apartment to be an outlier or an exception so I am thinking that property management companies must deal with this situation
regularly enough. Would anyone know best practices employed for this situation? I would have thought it should be clarified in some sort of regulation in the parking rules.

Thanks,
donofitz
 
As regards your tradesman I believe that the management company have addressed your concern. There is wide scale abuse of parking in apartment complexes. e.g. I am aware of one North Dublin complex where residents allowed friends and relations to bring their cars when going on holidays instead of using airport parking.
The reztriction of two only 24 parking in seven days seems extreme but again there are reasons. If you are overly concerned get it on the agenda for the A.G.M.
 
Get the management company to write to you confirming the precise arrangements for your builders, dates, times, registration numbers, etc. Non-routine arrangements are what managing is about.
