Tom Mulholland started receiving £35 fines for parking his Volkswagen Golf in May.
The 29-year-old says Southampton city council is being “highly disingenuous” with claims his vehicle blocks the pavement.
However, the council has rejected his appeals against the fines.
Now he is launching a new appeal but faces having to pay £660 if unsuccessful.
Mr Mulholland, who lives in Southampton, Hants, said: “It just doesn’t seem like there’s any clarity.
“These flats were office blocks before being converted in 2017. The council approved these spaces and now I’m being fined for parking outside my home, which I think is unreasonable.
“If the council were to say these spaces are too small, I’d understand, but they approved them in the first place
In a statement, Eamonn Keogh, a councillor at Southampton city council, said: “No waiting restrictions apply to any adjacent footway and verge to maintain access for pedestrians, pushchairs, wheelchairs, mobility scooters and the visually impaired.
“Vehicles parked in a private property designated parking space that overhang on to the footway where a restriction is on the adjacent carriageway would be subject to enforcement.
