How To Handle Parking And Towing In Large City Complexes

If you operate a large apartment complex in the city, there is a lot that you will have to manage. You will have to manage and process payments for each unit and run regular and emergency maintenance. One of the biggest headaches in a large complex is the parking situation. If there is limited parking and a lot of cars, this can become a big issue. Here is how you can set up parking rules that will work for everyone who lives in the apartment complex.

Give out assigned spots

Assigned spots takes care of the issue of people driving around and around until they can find a place to park. Be sure to number the spots on each level with their own number so that no one gets confused. When people move into the complex, ask how many spots they need and take down their car information. Assigned spots can also mean orderly parking, as no one is waiting for another person to pull out of a spot during rush hour and holding up the line of people attempting to get into the complex.

Allow only registered guests

Through an online system or with a guest pass, make it a rule that all of the guest parking spots are only to be taken by registered guests. Making the guest system online can help you to immediately identify registered guests. This will allow you to keep real time track of the use of the guest spots, and it will also allow you to know how many times a particular car is staying at the complex. If someone goes to check and there are unidentified cars in the guest spots, you can call auto towing and have them picked up. 

Hire a close tow yard

If you are in the center of the city, many of your residents may operate in the general area. Many people who choose to live inside of a large city will work and socialize within the city. Form a relationship with an auto towing company that operates within the city limits. This will make it easier for any paperwork to be performed and any cars can be taken close by for resident convenience. This also allows the towing company to make several trips within a short amount of time. This can keep your complex clear and make it easier for you to call if you notice cars in the wrong spots or non-registered guests.
