Exactly.

According to an article on the “news” site a week or so ago, a person who was reported for white cross violation threatened to do what you say this lady was doing. They were going to drive through multiple villages recording everything they considered a violation.

However, if what is reported to the district is not a violation, nothing happens. If it is, it is.

As to the asinine suggestion that in these, non-criminal cases, one "has the right to confront their accuser," reread the above paragraph...of whom does the actual "accusing."

It's patently obvious, that the ONLY reason to want to identify those turning in potential violations, is to, in some way... personally harass/bully those individuals.

Deplorable.

More power to her, maybe if more people would do that there would no longer be infractions. I have no problem with it, personally I wouldn't do it as I'm too lazy, I don't mind other people doing it for me.

People can report things but things have to be in violation before anything is done at all.

That is not true. EVERY SINGLE REPORT is investigated. If someone makes 50 totally fake and frivolous reports against 50 different properties, then Community Standards has to check out every single one of them, to determine if a) it's legit and b) if it is, what to do about it.

Thanks to anonymous reporting, anyone can report anyone, for anything, whether it's an actual violation or not, and get away with it. Every single time.

This is exactly why I don't think the property owner should have access to the complainer's personally identifying information.

But Community Standards absolutely should have that information, to protect themselves, and to ensure there's some measure of accountability. If this turns out to a total nut-job, and 80% of those reports are fake and made up, then they need to be able to tell the nut-job to cease and desist. They can't do that, if they don't know who it is.

Having been the recipient of a complaint, I asked the community standards person when they came by, and was told there were over 30 complaints in our neighborhood...............
PS the items that were in the complaint were out for almost 6 years, and I know none of the neighbors made the complaints............

[Velvet]

These violations can be seen from outside only?

[coffeebean]

Can anyone go into people's back yards to check for violations or is that considered trespassing?

Are there violations that can be reported for anything in back yards? Let me rephrase that.........are there deed restrictions for back yards? ie: height of shrubs

I’m having a hard time understanding the need to find out who did the reporting.

If you are following the rules you have nothing to worry about.

I think this matter is a slippery slope and we seem to be blaming the wrong people.

Neighbors have the right to report noncompliance.
But wanting to out the person is disturbing.

[Chi-Town]

50 rule violators in one neighborhood. Such a nice round number.

Perhaps Jazuela, you know better than I if the deed restriction people report the number of reports they have received from one person to the public. I have never heard they reported it to the community. The last time I reported someone who had a battalion of flower pots on top of cement blocks covering their entire driveway on both sides, the fellow who took the call was very talkative. (I thought he was too forthcoming, to be frank) They do of course check out each report and if there is no broken rule, no infringement. NOTHING HAPPENS. NO letter, no warning and no fine.

We had friends who had a Hillary sign out in their front yard before the last election. Someone reported them and they had to put it inside. Many times people get permission for some ornaments. Some are very lovely.

I am pleased to hear when someone reports a deed restriction. It keeps the whole area looking nice.

People get themselves all riled up about a slew of things. I remember when someone on this Forum was beefing about older people driving Corvettes.

What the use?? Whichever way you see this and post your opinion this is easy pickings for someone to bury you by going with the opposite view. I think maybe some people are more accustomed to retribution, payback, eye for an eye etc! I think the environment you were raised in may determine your outlook. Sorta reminds me of a song that is probably not too popular with our contemporaries. Here goes anyway! Maybe the complainer is Sexually Frustrated? Who Knows?

AC/DC Dirty Deeds Lyrics & Song. Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

I would let this thing run its course and refrain from any payback. We are retired and it all just doesn't see to be worth it. Peace Out! It's all free entertainment, cause it isn't happening to me!
