No, it’s not fair. BUT, if they did pull your neighbor’s WITHOUT a complaint, it could be seen by that owner as “selective enforcement”…a BIG NO-NO in the world of HOAs. This is why CS vehicles can not “police” violations. If they missed even one, out comes the selective enforcement banner. Once the neighbor wars in start in CDD5 and/or or it starts looking like hell, anonymous reporting will be back. As for the “clipboard ladies”? Make them PROVE they live in that district before accepting their complaints. Better yet, eliminate their need by having the RE agents at closing actually set aside 15 minutes and MAKE people read the covenants they sign for. Novel concept.
