You can't say Home 29 BayCayPlace has a bend over lady squatting and peeing in her front yard if they don't. Deed Compliance will do nothing.

It will all make better sense when you move here full time. But you tell us you own in the Historical area and there are few deed restrictions there.
It's not hard to stick a pink flamingo in the lawn of a neighbor you don't like, when the neighbor is "up north" visiting relatives or if they're a snowbird.

It's VERY easy to do that, and pile up the fines against those people.

In addition, it is rude and a waste of Community Standards' time and efforts and an insult to their work, if you make them come out to investigate issues that don't exist, or issues you THINK are issues, but really aren't. Like - a bad lawn. Improperly cared for. But the truth of the matter, is that there was a bit of weed growth and your landscaper used appropriate weedkiller to get rid of the growth, and it's going to take a couple of weeks for that patch of lawn to look pretty again.

If you are the only one who nitpicks on a regular basis against the same neighbor, YOU should be called out on it, not the neighbor. ESPECIALLY if it's things that Community Standards ends up not doing anything about.

That is why Community Standards should know the names and addresses of each person who files a formal complaint. So that THEY can decide whether or not the person complaining is being a nuisance - and if they are, they can tell that complainer to cease and desist.
