What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
We bought a lot and built a home in a development with restrictive covenances in place and deeded. Our most recent build has placed a Walmart blue 18 foot blow up above ground filtered pool in their yard as well as a several fences sectioning off a play area and rabbit wire fencing (all about 4' tall) for a garden area. Our covenances specifically state no fences unless you are enclosing an inground pool which we have done with ours and NO above ground pools shall be constructed on any lot. Our next door neighbors had excavation prep work done, sand hauled in and a $200 18' blue blow up pool placed on their lot over the weekend. The entire neighborhood is at wits end regarding their total disregard and lack of upkeep with their property. We have all tried talking with them about it respectfully but they say it is a kiddie pool and not an above ground pool even though it is filtered and has power to it and will not take or remove anything from their lot. In regards to upkeep of their lawn, they claim the husbands overtime at work prevents them from maintaining the lawn. Is there anything we as homeowners can do OR should be doing rather than just trying to talk to them? Is it our responsibility or the developers responsibility in the courts eyes? We do no seek monetary award, simply enforcement of the covenance.
