At first I was like wtf? But if I'm reading this correctly it's the area between the driveway and sidewalk. I know that if you block the sidewalk in NYC with your parked car(sidewalk space)you can be ticketed.

Hmm. Well, my reading of the article suggests that it's the area between your front door and the street. So I suspect that she is not blocking the driveway. However, the most likely fallout from this is the current owners of the property are simply going to sue the previous owners for misrepresentation of the property, on back as far as possible.

If you are correct and it is that, then they absolutely should.

I'm referring to when a person parks their car like this~



And off topic, but Google is letting a LOT of R pics get through the safe search.

Yeah, and in that case, I fully expect the person to get ticketed. I also expect such a person to whine about it, but I am suspicious that is not the case. I live just outside D.C., and this general area is fairly well known to be abusing traffic tickets in order to generate revenue. There are actually several class action lawsuits going on about it right now.

It is not parking so as to block the sidewalk (i.e. public access). That is a finable offense in most municipalities.

It's everything from the front fascia of the property to the road. Hence the references to the use of the statute for arresting people having a beer on their porch for drinking in public.

There's a clickthrough in the editorial with an article that shows the property in question. The municipality is taking a sizable bite.
