Towing Issues: HOA Towing Question/Clarification, santa clarita california, inoperable vehicles

Question
I live in an HOA in Santa Clarita, California.   Our Rules & Regulations state no parking of oversized vehicles and inoperable vehicles within the common area parking.  Boats and small trailers are allowed for up to 72 hours.   Vehicles must display a parking permit when parking in condo designated parking spaces.  The parking rules are spelled out pretty well in the R&R’s.   We have the proper parking signage posted on the entrance gate.  The sign and font are the proper size.  Ordinance code, parking restriction language, phone number, etc., are on the sign

Our property manager refuses to tow vehicles in violation of the rules.  He claims that the only vehicles that qualify for an immediate tow are vehicles parked in fire lanes and that all other vehicles in violation of the rules must be given 96 hours notice before towing.  I disagree.  Our rules make no mention of a 96 hour notice.  It is my understanding that you only have to give 96 hours notice if you don’t have the proper signage posted at all entrances to the complex.  But maybe I am wrong.  

I was hoping that you could give some clarification on this.  Lets say a boat has overstayed its 72 hour welcome, or someone is taking up two parking spaces (also forbidden in the rules), or a homeowner is using the common area parking for the storage of his five vehicles (also not allowed), what type of notice, if any, do we need to give before having the vehicle towed?  Because our manager is not understanding the towing rules and regulations – at least I think he’s not, maybe I’m the one not understanding them – some of the homeowners are taking advantage of this.  Any day now I expect to see a small airplane parked in the complex.  ;)

Thanks for any advice or help you can give.

Answer
I must say this is one of the better written and detailed questions I have had in a long time. It's refreshing but I digress. Personally I think you already know the answer. The manager isn't enforcing the parking regulations. Since it's private property there isn't anything the police can do. If you stated your claim to the manager and nothing has been done then it's time to start documenting and taking pictures. The manager has someone to answer to, find out who it is. Also, should the majority of tenants feel the same then there is power in numbers. Good luck
