car on property/ 3 adults listed on lease

Hello everyone. Hope all is well.

I have 3 adults listed on a lease. When I leased to them we agreed that 1 person would be the main point of contact.  One of the tenants has a car parked in the driveway at perpendicular angle to the driveway (not parked correctly).  Each month the car is in the same spot and judging from the distance it is to the house (about 1 foot away), I doubt the tenant is moving/ parking it like that daily. It is a vehicle they listed on the application.

I sent them a violation letter to have the stalled, non-working, unused car removed.  The main point of contact stated that it in fact works and belongs to another of the adults listed on the lease and gave me his phone number to discuss it him.  I think if it is parked correctly and works that is fine for me. 

1) The lease just states that all vehicles should be parked properly. 

2) I don't want to start having individual conversations or should I?

What advice, consideration do you guys suggest here?

I get why you did it, but the point is it's now been fixed. They've established it works and now that notice has been resolved.

Take picture of how it's parked and send a new notice letter explaining the current violation. Depending on the lease go from there be it revoked parking privilege or towed or whatever is covered. You'd probably have a easy time if you'd just ask them to park it correctly and then gave then the reason why (you're blocking whatver )....
