I already had to pull the ones that are next to the garage. I hate to complain but I thought property owners are supposed to keep up on that ? Thanks in advance.

Worrying about hurricanes, a failure of the A/C system, and weeds top the list of snowbird concerns while away. No matter how hard we try to keep our weeds under control when not there during the growing season, it’s a loosing battle. We try to never not get to our house for longer than a two month absence, so our weeds never get totally out of control, but they definitely start to look unsightly. Our yard never looks better than when we leave after spending the winter and early spring. If your neighbor isn’t there for several months, without having a service keep the weeds under control, I can see your dilemma. You’re stuck between reporting them to community standards and potentially getting off to a bad start with them, and having to look at the unsightly weeds. I would suggest trying to contact the neighbors directly and explaining the situation to them. Best of luck.
