Default Poorly maintained properties

As I drive around from time to time I sometimes see a yard that is in really BAD shape. I mean bad as in it looks like the home is abandoned. It makes me wonder why the neighbors in those neighborhoods tolerate someone not maintaining their property? Grass that looks horrible, grass burnt from not being watered, landscape beds full of weeds etc! Why aren't the neighbors complaining to the villages about the condition of these properties? or are they and the owners refuse to comply? Can an owner refuse to comply without fear of getting fined? I am glad that properties like this are few and far between and not in my neighborhood but those that buy into this area should be REQUIRED to keep the appearance of their property up to an ACCEPTABLE level! The covenants we sign into when we buy here are there for a reason. Your thoughts?
