Tell the landlord to either deal with her or decrease your rent. Driveway space is valuable in this city and I wouldn’t let the landlord get away with promising a space and then not actually letting me use that space

There is nothing the city nor law enforcement can do. This is more of a civil matter and will be something you need to work out between landlord, neighbor, and you. You can take legal action to get out of the lease since you're not getting the driveway.

But it's going to probably cost you more money and trouble than it is to wait until your lease ends and move.

The landlord needs to remedy this. You can legally park in front of your own driveway if you want to make the others persons life miserable.

If it is stated in your lease that you have an entrance and driveway IT MUST BE HONORED by the landlord. If it is not it is a complete breaking of contract. I know that the neighbor does not have the same exact contract as you but what you and the landlord signed stands. If the landlord granted both of you use of the driveway then the neighbor is gonna have to share. Period. It is unreasonable for a home/apt to have an actual place and driveway for a vehicle and tell the person paying rent and access to that very driveway that no, they can't have it.
