Community Standards and the CDD can move to enforce external deed restrictions - basically the appearance of the property. If the grass is uncut or weeds are growing or the shrubs are too high or there is mold on the home then they can get involved. If the neighbors have rallied to cut the grass and pull the weeds then that doesn't leave much for Community Standards or the CDD to get involved with.

It puts the neighborhood in a bad situation with possibly no good solution: provide free maintenance for the foreseeable future or live with an unsightly property.

The Developer can (though some would say they seldom do) move to enforce internal deed restrictions but are any internal deed restrictions being violated? Having a home sit empty is not a violation. Having no power (or shutting off the breakers) is not a violation. Even if the Developer had the desire to act, he would first need something to act on.

Agreed. No electric would mean no irrigation, but we are in the rainy season. Darned if you do, darned if you don’t.
