Yes, excessive weeds are definitely part of deed restrictions. We owned a CYV as a rental and tried to be exemplary about keeping the property clean and weed free but not everyone did. There was a resident who put a red light in his post light. As if that wasn't enough, it was flashing. I called Community Standards about the flashing red light down the way and the knee high weeds across the street. A very nice man in Community Standards said that he couldn't do anything about the flashing red light but he could do something about the weeds. They were gone within 2 weeks and the weeds didn't come back.

I know it's hot in the summer but it's not right to let the weeds go. At first I went over once a month in the early a.m., took cold bottled water with me and worked where it was shady. I gradually changed to every 2 weeks. The weeds really show in rock. I'd rather have grass any day. By the time we sold the cyv, I was going over weekly and using Round-Up. It was the yard and weeds that got to me.
