What happens when a violation complaint is filed?
The complaint will be logged and tracked through the restrictions process. The process normally begins with a notification to the alleged violator of the filing. As stated above, this does not mean that there is in fact any violation. In many cases the simple notification causes a remedy to be implemented by the property owner. In other cases, the Board will determine, based on as much input as possible including input from the alleged violator, if any violation actually exists. Assuming the Board determines that a violation exists, they will notify the violator of the specific issue and the path to remove the violation. Usually this means that the property owner can obtain approval for alterations, repair or removal of the violation; potentially they may request a variance. Ultimately, there will be some reasonable time frame (usually a mutually agreed to period) established for resolution. When the issue is resolved the item will be closed; when the issue is not resolved in a reasona
