Question

Hello, Reuven is with his wife and a small child in the car, running errands in Bnei Brak. His wife asked him to go to a store to get something. Reuven found a place to park the car where it does not obstruct the flow of traffic but blocks the exit for the residents of a building. Is it permissible for Reuven to park there with his wife waiting inside with the baby, to notify him immediately if a resident wants to leave? This will likely cause about a minute's delay for the resident to exit. It may also cause distress, as the resident likely encounters this situation frequently.

Answer

Hello 

If the person waits in the car and moves it immediately when someone comes, it is permissible.
