In my neck of the woods, that behavior is called stalking and harassment and a judge can sign off on a cease and desist for it. There was a family in a nearby town who encountered the same kind of thing. Someone in the household was wheelchair bound, and they had a handicap-equipped van in the driveway and were building a wheelchair ramp from the front step to the driveway. A neighbor thought it was unsightly, and started complaining on a weekly basis to the zoning department about the ramp.

'They're extending it two inches too close to the sidewalk' or "the material is 1/8" too thin" or "they're digging within 10 feet of the curb"...

None of what they were saying was true, and all the work has the proper licensing and permits issued.

The neighbor was issued a cease and desist, and did it again anyway, and was arrested for violating the cease and desist order.

That is the kind of thing I'm talking about, that can happen, and possibly already IS happening to some extent, in the Villages.
