In the Seyhan district of Adana, a legal and physical dispute has emerged between the management of Baysan Business Center and Özen Plaza regarding a shared underground parking garage. Özen Plaza Manager Nazan Akça Subaşı reported that Baysan Business Center management has allegedly prevented plaza residents from using the space for years. Tensions escalated during recent renovations to repair water damage, when construction debris was placed at the garage entrance. Because the Baysan Business Center management reportedly refused to open the garage doors, the debris has blocked the entrance, trapping vehicles inside and preventing new ones from entering.

Separately, central Adana is experiencing significant traffic congestion due to illegal and double parking, particularly around 5 Ocak Square and Çakmak Street in the Seyhan district. Residents report that improper parking has narrowed roads, increased noise pollution, and created potential delays for emergency services. Pedestrians are also facing difficulties due to sidewalk occupations by vehicles and vendors. Local citizens have criticized the Adana Metropolitan Municipality for a perceived lack of enforcement.
