Cal. Civ. Code § 5:10-24.3
Parking in approach drives
Operative Text
No parking will be permitted in approach drives to parking areas where such parking will obstruct ingress of fire-fighting equipment.
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:10-24.3, parking is prohibited in approach drives leading to parking areas whenever that parking would block fire-fighting equipment from entering. The rule is designed to ensure emergency vehicles can reach a property without obstruction. It applies to any approach drive where such an obstruction could occur, regardless of the type of residential property involved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to N.J.A.C. § 5:10-24.3 generally ensure that approach drives to parking areas are kept clear of parked vehicles at all times when such parking could impede fire apparatus access. Compliant operators typically post clear signage prohibiting parking in these areas and enforce no-parking policies through lease terms or property rules. Maintaining documentation of these measures can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the provision.

Under N.J.A.C. § 5:10-24.3, tenants have an interest in knowing that approach drives to parking areas must remain clear of vehicles that would block fire-fighting equipment. If a tenant observes that this rule is being violated — for example, by other vehicles or by a lack of enforcement — they may consider reporting the concern to the local housing or fire code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how this provision interacts with broader habitability and safety standards.
