BTW..those are the exact steps a lawyer would take, so if you still don;t get some relief, pay a lawyer to send the same type of letter to the same people. It will show them 2 things:
1. You are not backing down
2. You are willing to escalate the matter
I have done this before myself and I will dollars to donuts you will get relief!!
Remember...in most states, the HOA members are “personally” liable for monetary damages if they are show to be liable for the cause or {not giving you relief} for a dangerous situation.
Use the word “liability” and put the burden on them to take action!!!
Keep in mind that a legal proceeding is going to be a very expensive undertaking and will not likely pay off in the long run unless you can show actual monetary damages. If you aren’t selling the house, for example, then you probably can’t sue the neighbor for any loss in value for your home.
