When you purchased the property you also purchased a parking space
identified by a number. I don't believe anyone has the right to change the
location and you likely have a cause for legal action if they do not restore
your space.

I would also check the board minutes to see if the change was approved, was
it properly noticed, what the justification was and who paid for it.
