People on this thread are acting as though the only possible deed violations that can be complained about are statues/lawn ornaments and similar. A snowbird who isn't THERE to see that the landscaper missed a week, or a patch of grass has turned brown, can't bring the property into compliance because - he's not THERE.
If someone knows their neighbor isn't home, and has a beef with his neighbor, it's easy to call CS and complain that the grass is 1/2 inch over the max allowed. Or that there are exactly three weeds in the flower bed out front and that has to be dealt with immediately.
Or whatever else. People who make dozens of complaints in the same day, aren't just picking out statues to complain about. They're FINDING things that most people wouldn't even notice. They're looking for anything that could possibly be investigated. Or - they're flat out making things up JUST to cause trouble for someone they don't like.
CS has no way of monitoring this, because complaints are allowed to be made anonymously. CS should know exactly who is making every single complaint, and where each person complaining lives.
And - complaints should only be valid if they come from people with a valid Villages ID.
