I am a current resident with Griffin Apartments, going on two years of residency. I encountered an issue and as a resident I feel that a courtesy resolution should have been made being that I have a signed lease and I am entitled to have my vehicle at my property of residency. Understanding the influx of people abusing the parking spaces has caused us as residents to be unable to find reasonable parking spaces. In my situation I currently don't have a vehicle and am in a rental which was towed by the Griffin, the property location I reside in . Looking at the new Parking Policy & Updated Visitor Parking Information : none of the options provided to a resident with a rental car was helpful for my situation. I work a 7:45am-6:30pm schedule whereas the office would be closed for assistance with parking options. I've reached out to the office and spoke to the community manager and she mentioned that I could have reached out to the office for a temporary visitor parking, as mentioned I'm a resident and that would have not helped with the parking solution and it was only temporary. Also mentions "Visitor parking is reserved strictly for short-term guests and may not be used by residents or for extended stays"
I'm looking for resolution whereas I was charged for removing the vehicle from the towing location paying the cost of $325. I have the rental vehicle agreement in my name as a resident of the Griffin community which is proof the vehicle wasn't property of someone else who was parked there and a non resident. I was being generous for my father who is elderly , we had a rain storm so I parked across from our apartment in a parking spot so he can park in the garage space.
Below attached is the Griffin updated parking policy submitted 6/4/25
Resident Parking Decals:
All resident-owned vehicles must display a valid parking decal on the front windshield at all times. This decal allows for authorized on-site parking. Please ensure it is clearly visible.
2. Visitor Parking:
Visitor parking is reserved strictly for short-term guests and may not be used by residents or for extended stays.
Visitor spaces are clearly marked "Visitor."
Residents are responsible for ensuring their guests park in appropriate areas.
*NEW* Temporary visitor parking passes are available at the leasing office during regular business hours and are valid for up to 48 hours. We must have the license plate number for the vehicle to be able to issue parking pass.
Only one visitor pass will be issued per apartment at a time.
If the leasing office is closed, guests must use designated "Visitor" spaces without a pass.
3. Garage Parking:
Residents assigned garage spaces must use the spot directly in front of their z garage. Parking in another resident's space is not permitted and may result in towing at the vehicle owner's expense. read more
