10 Condominium Parking Problems and Solutions

Ineffective parking management

Ineffective parking management

The manner in which condominium constructors distribute parking spots and garages to unit owners differs. In some buildings, these spaces are designated as restricted common areas, and the condo association retains ownership while granting the unit owner exclusive rights to utilize the space or garage. In other complexes, the unit owner purchases and owns the garage or parking spot. However, in both circumstances, the most critical issue in a condo or HOA community is a lack of adequate parking protection and control. A successful residential complex must have an effective system for managing its parking requirements.

General car park organization challenges

General car park organization challenges

The parking situation at condominium complexes can be difficult to manage. Condominium parking managers face the challenge of creating an effective general car park organization for their multi-story complex. If parking is not properly organized, entrances get clogged, traffic jams form and residents get frustrated. The solution is to have a well-planned system in place that allows for easy movement between floors and levels, and reports on how many spaces are available at any given time.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Smart Parking protection, in conjunction with Parklio™ ANPR, prevents entrances from clogging by providing free flow access to approved vehicles. Parklio™ Display makes parking navigation easier by displaying real-time information about each parking spot availability.


Addressing parking lot security issues

Addressing parking lot security issues

Apartment or condo managers and homeowners’ associations should carefully consider the security of their communities. Many times, residential complex parking lots are not adequately guarded and lack suitable parking access management. Enforcing parking access control is critical to ensuring that only authorized vehicles can enter the gated community since people occasionally park their automobiles within the complex despite the fact that they are neither residents or guests of any of its residents.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parking violations by unauthorized vehicles can be easily eliminated thanks to Parklio’s parking protection products and Parklio™ ANPR.


Stopping tenant parking misuse

Stopping tenant parking misuse

Tenant parking misuse is one of the most prevalent challenges that condominium boards and managers encounter. Many residents allow others to use their condominium parking lot, and this can lead to an overflow of vehicles on the property, which can make it difficult for other tenants to find a space when they need one. Tenant parking abuse problems can be addressed by improving the parking access control system in place. Implementing an advanced access system will help ensure that only those who have been given permission can park in your building's lot.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Once the incoming car's license plate is read by the Parklio™ ANPR, the Parklio™ Gate will only open if it matches a whitelist, and it will shut again once the vehicle has gone through.


Dedicated parking spots for visitors

Dedicated parking spots for visitors

Visitors parking management can be quite challenging in residential complexes and condominiums. Visitors have a tendency to park in any available space, and it's simple for them to become confused about where they should and shouldn’t park. This is why you should consider installing a dedicated visitor parking area. It helps visitors understand exactly where to park, so that they don’t end up inconveniencing other residents by taking up their spots or blocking access to other areas of the complex.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

You can effortlessly secure parking places for your visitors with Parklio™ Gate, Chain and / or Smart Parking Barrier. Simply share digital keys with them using the Parklio™ Connect App, and they will be able to enter your condominium parking and park in the designated spot.


Implement parking space zoning

Implement parking space zoning

Zoning systems allow you to set up different zones for different types of parking and then assign different privileges to each zone. By implementing zoning systems in your condo, you can clearly define which zones are for residents only, for visitors only, or even for the general public. This is great because it allows people who live in your complex to park near their unit. Another benefit of zoning is that it helps make sure that visitors do not park in the wrong place or stay too long. You can set up rules for how long someone can stay in one spot and how many times they can park there per day or week.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Detect tracks how many vehicles are parked in each zone and whether there are empty spaces left. Parklio™ PMS allows zone-specific constraints and fees, which improve parking lot management efficiency.


Eliminate tailgating problems

Eliminate tailgating problems

In gated communities, tailgating is a recurring problem where unauthorized persons seek to access your parking lot without being detected. They wait for their moment and drive closely behind a car that has the authorization to enter. Besides creating parking availability problems, tailgating can also be a serious security and safety breach. The best way to avoid tailgating is by using an access control system that requires vehicles to be identified as authorized before receiving access. This will prevent unauthorized persons from entering with your residents or authorized visitors.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Gate paired with Parklio™ ANPR gives you complete control over entry to your parking lot since ANPR technology enables the gate to open only for whitelisted vehicle table plates and shut immediately once the car has entered the lot.


Protect disabled tenants parking spaces

Protect disabled tenants parking spaces

Handicapped parking spaces are a matter of necessity and convenience for people with disabilities who have trouble walking or getting in and out of vehicles. Residential complex administrators must provide an adequate number of parking spaces for handicapped renters who require them, while simultaneously prohibiting non-disabled individuals from exploiting the slots. Single space protecting barriers are a great way to help keep the handicap spaces clear.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

With Parklio™ Parking Barrier your handicapped tenants won't have to worry about finding a parking place. All they have to do is download the free Parklio™ Connect App to manage the barrier installed in their allotted parking spot.


Enable parking reservation

Enable parking reservation

Parking reservation systems are a great way to manage parking at your condominium complex. It allows tenants and visitors to simply search for available parking spaces in the parking lot, see how long those spots will be available, and select the one that best meets their needs. They can also reserve a parking place ahead of time if they intend to arrive during busy hours. The technology also assists residents by providing them with real-time information on parking spot availability in their building.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Detect detects the available parking spaces on your parking lot while Parklio™ PMS enables you to make reservations for available parking spaces.


Monetize spare parking spaces

Monetize spare parking spaces

Parking spaces are a valuable resource for any condominium, and having more than sufficient parking spaces can be very beneficial. The HOA (Homeowners Association) communities are responsible for maintaining the parking lot, paying taxes on it, and keeping it clean, although they do not always utilize all of the parking spots in their lots effectively. Condominium or apartment complexes with huge parking lots and more than enough parking places for their residents and guests may monetie the extra parking spots. Collecting daily/weekly/monthly parking fees from non-residents who wish to park on-site is an excellent strategy to increase property earnings.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Terminal is a convenient, automated, and contactless parking payment system. It accepts various cashless payments. Parklio™ Parking exit protection activates immediately after payment.

Managing the usage of EV charging infrastructure

Managing the usage of EV charging infrastructure

EV charging infrastructure has become a necessity for those who are looking to make the switch to electric cars. EV charging stations are becoming more popular in residential parking lots as well, thus apartment or condo managers and homeowners' associations must figure out how to regulate the optimal use of these stations and how to deal with ICE-ing problems. The term ICE stands for Internal Combustion Engine, which refers to traditional gasoline-powered cars. When someone parks their ICE vehicle in an EV parking space without using the charger, they are committing an act called "ICE-ing". Smart parking protection can successfully address ICE-ing problems. More information about managing EV charging station parking is available here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Condominium parking

The word "condominium," like many others in the English language, derives from Latin. Since "con" means "along with" and "dominium" means "right of ownership," condominium refers to a person's right of ownership in property shared with others. You are responsible for what happens within your unit (including repairs and upkeep), but you will be charged monthly fees for common spaces.

Condominiums give you the opportunity to own a home without having to worry about maintenance, lawn care and other chores. A condo is typically less expensive than a single-family home, yet it frequently has facilities such as pools, parking garages, gyms, and more. You also gain access to a community of people who may share your interests.

Choosing to live in a condo means you have to follow the community rules. One of the biggest disadvantages of living in a condominium is that, even if you own your unit, you're still subject to the rules and regulations of your HOA association. You'll almost certainly have to pay monthly maintenance costs as well as maybe additional assessments. These fees pay for the upkeep of common amenities such as the pool, parking lot, clubhouse, and grounds.

HOA stands for Homeowners Association, a private organization that manages residential communities. The HOA is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of common areas and facilities in the condominiums.
