I agree with your comments however who do you think should be responsible for the cost of this additional inspection (obviously it would not be free)? Buyers could make this a condition of the purchase agreement but if the Seller chooses not to accept such conditions the agreement would be void. Most agents actually are working for the Seller and are not obligated to promote such conditions on behalf of the Buyers. Buyers frequently purchase real estate without obtaining surveys and without conducting a professional property inspections. How many do you think would be willing to add an additional expense to their closing costs? Plus, who would be responsible for bringing the property into compliance if violations are reported?

I have seen many applications submitted to the ARC wherein the property owner states that the conditions were "existing when we bought the property". Unfortunately if it is a rules violation it does not matter when the work was done, who authorized it or how long it has been there.

Same people that approve or disapprove rule violations. They want rules Enforced then they need to insure when properties change hand no violation exist, not 2 months or 15 years after someone brought property and some one complains. All changes should be documented with application approval’s.

If it can’t be seen from your gate there is nothing community standards can do about, they can’t enforce what they can’t see.

Until you get into an argument with a neighbor who turns you in.

Watch out with that superpower, common sense; someone is surely going to post about your 'bad additude'!!

There is CYV being offer for sale by a non-villages realtor. In the pictures of the unit, there is clearly an outdoor storage unit. It looks to be a plastic structure about 60 in x 24 in x 36 in.

I suspect the answer to the OP’s question is probably not. But the OP should not be surprised if a very large rental apartment complex pops up in their back yard : (

People who report this kind of thing have too much time on their hands.

Sure. Bury it and call it a tornado shelter

We received permission from ARC to put a small 6x4 storage shed up against out house in our CYV
