Ran into a wall while parking, they're going to pay!!!! Options

So while trying to get into my parking spot today in my apartments garage, my car hit the adjcent wall next to my parking spot. Now there is this huge dent on the side including tons of scratches.

But the bright side is, i looked it up online and my assigned parking spot violates a couple Seattle Municipal Codes about parking spaces, most notably the size of the spot when there is a barrier and the distance of my spot to the barrier, in the case a wall, and in this case the distance is ZERO. So tomorrow morning im going to my apartmetn buildings office and going to demand they pay for the damages and reassign me to a spot that adheres to these codes! Hopefully they wont fuss when presented with the code vilolations and do what i ask.

Hey fellas, how about some tact? Orville, these guys have a point. It was your fault and making someone else pay for it seems like a stretch to me - even if the space was not large enough per city regulations. There are many times when we have to make a judgement call about whether we can fit somewhere. IMO, if the space was too tight, you should have parked elsewhere. Good luck with the repairs.
