Handicap-centric state laws will always supersede any association's governing documents. State and Federal Laws appear uniformly dedicated to accommodating people with handicaps.

Let's assume that the state law requires that a handicap parking space be available within the community. The number of such spaces may be related to the number of units and then the percentage of those that require accessibility -- unit design and parking.

The association may have conformed to the state law. Over time, however, since no bona fide handicapped owner appeared to purchase the unit or occupy the designated space, it/they were owned/occupied by an owner without a handicap designation.

If you are an owner -- or perhaps are evaluating a tenant -- who is handicapped, you may not be able to work with the board to make the handicap-centric unit available, but you may be able to work with the board to gain accessibility to the parking space you need.

Your association-savvy attorney may be able to guide you if you happen upon an association board who treats your request lightly.

What are the laws and codes that govern requirements for wheelchair ramps for condominiums in CA?

Since condominiums are private residences, getting the access you need may be problematic. Work with the board to determine whether or not the association is in compliance with the local laws and codes, then if these assets can be made available to you. If no access is available, you may not want to buy into that association, or rent a unit there.

Where is it illegal to park your car?

The question is far TOO broad to answer here. The better question would be to disclose where YOU got YOUR ticket and then ask if it was properly issued or not. Aside from the obvious answer of 'wherever there are no parking signs posted,' there are thousands of other regulations throughout the states which govern the illegal parking of vehicles. An EXTREMELY short sample might include examples such as: within 25 ft of a fire hydrant - within 25 ft of a RR crossing - on a bridge - within 15 feet of a crosswalk - on a sidewalk - handicapped parking (unless you have a placard) - within 15 ft of a bus stop - etc - etc - etc -etc - ad nauseum. Many of these locations do NOT have signs posted and none are required. You bear the responsibility of being aware of the laws which govern your operation of a vehicle.


Is it legal to park a car on a public road?

Sure ... however any posted signs that indicate time limits for parking must be obeyed. Some cities have rules governing overnight parking on streets that they govern, or place restrictions on certain sized vehicles like RV's and trucks.
