All deed restrictions are available online, or ask seller for it.
We hear about all the non compliance, but what percent of existing homes is it?
Although it is not a criminal charge, the 6th amendment (the right to face accuser) should apply. Or at least the spirit of the 6th amendment.

You correctly state that the 6th Amendment gives you the right to face your accuser in a criminal case. Nothing in the spirit of the Amendment gives you the same right in a civil proceeding, possibly because the stakes are so much lower. In a deed case, there is no need to confront the reporting person. The issue is whether a deed restriction has been violated. Motive, malice, financial gain don’t matter. Either there’s a violation or there isn’t. It’s shocking to me that so many people (generally well educated, middle class or higher) believe that the contracts they sign aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, and try to shift the blame for their noncompliance to others who have the right to expect the compliance that protects the community as a whole.
