As I understand, there is one specific person that must witness a violation for action to be taken. If you take pictures of a violation and turn them over to the HOA with other details then that one person of authority can go witness the violation and take action. Persistent problems like garbage cans being stored in sight of the road or a fence that does not meet requirements are violations that are actionable. Violations that last a short period of time at each occurrence, like fireworks, are not likely to result in a fine because the violation will not be witnessed by that one person with authority. It is unreasonable to require that one person to be out and about looking for fireworks violations every night. If we are going to get the fireworks problem under control in Daybreak this process is going to have to change. However, care needs to be taken to keep feuding neighbors from using the HOA as a weapon. If you have ideas, take them to the HOA open board meeting.
