a person towed my car so a garbage truck from a private gargbage collection company can fit through an alley and pickup some trash, but my car was not on their property, though they claim that the way it was parked made it inaccessible for the garbage truck.
=========
I've been parking my car at the building where I work for the last couple of days. Thur morning my car was towed at the request of an employee of the realty company that owns the building adjacent to where I park. The employee claims that the way I parked my car made it inaccessible for trucks, vans, and other oversize vehichles. The employee also claimed that I was in the realty company's space and unless my car is touching the wall of the building where I work, I'm in the realty company's territory. Unfortunately, for the employee, the map but the city of boston property map tells a different story. The employee also claimed that rear of my car was at least, or around (forgot the exact phrase) off 2ft from the wall (it was parked at an angle). Using this and some math I tried to reproduce the situation on paper. I measured from wall to wall on both buildings and it came to 20.5ft. See Info Here. Using the 2ft, I'm still within my company's land. Move the towards their building by 1 foot, because no one parks with their car touching the brick wall, and I'm still within my buildings territory and not touching their property. I also have a coworker that saw my car and confirm that it was accessible for other cars (don't know about oversize vehichles) and was within our company's land.
Here's some more info. THe car was towed @ 6:15 am, there are 3 dumpsters in the alley on the realty company's side. There was a trash pickup scheduled for before 7am, and the use the really big garbage trucks. I'm still trying to find out from the gargbage company if they were able to get the trash that morning or not. So based on the info I have right now, what can/should I do? I paid to have my car removed from the tow place cuz I needed it for friday.
As for the 2nd link, the blackbox is my car, green is my company's land, and red is the realty's land. note how the realty company's building's wall is grooved, so the 20.5ft is the max, I didn't measure the min, but the 10.25ft for us doesn't change.
