I am no legal expert, but it seems to me that... A flaw in the concept is when the CCD ignores known violations (because of no complaint).
Can they ignore a known violation because some owner did not complain? Is a violation, the act of not complying with the rule? A complaint does not turn it into a violation! A complaint is a notification to the authorities of a potential violation! My guess is that a potential violation must be verified by the authorities before they register it as a violation and subseqently impose the fine.
I suspect the problem will be when people working for the CCD sees other violations or are otherwise aware of other violations and ignores them?
Could an owner construe it as a breach of contract?
Might it be construed as a form of harrassment or discrimination by some. Could the CCD be used as a means to harrass or target someone, yet ignore others... by not being even handed!
Possibly other little dusty corners of the law where a person might claim they were wronged by the practice.
