I live in what is/was a 500k community in N. Georgia 40 minutes from Atlanta.

Main violations are neighbor specific. Trash, construction materials laying around from projects that they’ve abandoned and built other structures.
A commercial vehicle, food trailer that is constantly parked on the street. In fact he cleans the grease in the front of the house letting it run into the sewer system.

The other issues are HOA specific and item promised when we built our home. Landscaping at retention ponds is the major concern.

Buyers have complained about the truck, debris, and the retention pond issue.

We have 5 parties interested in taking this on with us. In fact the HOA President has for all intent been silenced from these new members on the board. He suggested I get a coalition together to fight this at this point.

“The other issues are HOA specific and item promised when we built our home. Landscaping at retention ponds is the major concern.”

Is the developer still in charge of the HOA? Many will retain control until a certain percent of the lots are sold.

If so your beef would be with him.

If not and maintenance isn’t be performed I’d suspect some financial shenanigans with the treasurer.

Ouch. That’s pretty bad.

I forgot to ask how large the lots are. The behavior of the offending/violating homeowner is something I frequently see on run-down, rural acreage properties. If he’s doing it with neighbors close by on each side, its a freaking nuisance. Are you in an unincorporated area, or is there some kind of municipal authority which might be able to bring nuisance ordinances to bear? (Or is the private HOA the only recourse against the offender?)

BTW, when you say 500k, I’m not sure if you are referring to the population, or the average worth of each home ... $500K would buy a nice place in North Georgia I would imagine ... around here in NorCal, not so much ...

If you are not inclined to take over the HOA then I would go to the city zoning board. Those are all health and safety violations.

The grease thing will get the city/county very involved - report it to code enforcement. Images are best but date, times and specifics are good also.
