We are currently renting a condo in a nice area. However, someone has left their boat for sale on the streetside right where alot of us park for our complex. It's been there now for over a week and is a huge pain in the neck because everyone that lives here tries to park there. I don't know who's it is, so do I contact our property manager, or the police?

You might try asking real nice, the person selling it to please find somewhere else to park it. The phone should be on the FOR SALE sign.

You would need to call the property manager first. The street issue depends on a couple of things. 1)It may not be a "public street" if it is on condo property and may fall under a condo associatioin of rules like a home association has rules. 2)If it is a true public street, it can depend on city ordinance as well.
Check those things out first, go to the property manager. If that doesn't work and it's parked near a fire hydrant, etc., then you can try the police, but make sure to call the non-emergency number listed for your area. Don't call 911.

If the parking is designated for your complex the property manager CAN make them move it. If it is not designated and it is on the street they really have no jurisdiction. You can call the police department or you can go to www.ask.com and try to find the laws in your state on this matter.

You can check with the police but if the trailer is currently registered then he may have as much right to park there as you. The property manager has no authority on a public street.

The property manager first. If you call the police it may cause a confrontation with the owner. I would contact the property manager and only if that fails to get resolution consider further action.

It's possible that there are regulations about what sort of vehicle can be parked on your particular street. Check with your DMV, and if the boat is in violation, feel free to call the police (non-emergency number of course)

The police or the property manager. And if the property manager is unwilling or unable to assist you then call the police. Some people are so inconsiderate. Good luck and God bless****

Streets are public property. As long as the boat trailer is registered, there's nothing you can do.
You can call and complain to the police, but they'll probably just tell you to grin and bear it.

I'd start with the manager, since it is likely private property.

Talk to the manager first. That's their responsibility to watch over the tenants. Do not get yourself involved with the police. You don't want your neighbors knowing who called.
