Is it up to neighbors to complain if a property is neglected and grass grows and weeds are not controlled? Or do TV employees make the rounds and keep on top of things?

If it is up to the neighbors, I sure could see that turning into some real issues. Bad feelings with neighbors and also the old "Hey, I'll hold your coat while you go fight" routine, as one neighbor is left to do the complaining about something that is aggravating all the neighbors.

Does TV itself take the responsibility to spot and deal with neglected properties so that the neighbors do not have to get into it? I would expect that TV management has this all figured out.

I think it is both and it is not a universal enforcement. I had two ceramic frogs sitting in the middle of my courtyard for weeks and got the notice out of the blue. I drove around our Village and found many violations. I would like to know why I was singled out but by then it was too late.

Personally I think it was someone who had already been gigged and happened to see my frogs and reported it.

It is in my annual survey that they should enforce the deeds restrictions uniformly.
