Hello,
I sure hope somebody on this forum can help me figure out what to do with the issue I am having with my neighbor. We live in one of the finer neighborhoods in this area and we are governed by CC & R' S and not by an HOA. My neighbor removed the glass from the window in their garage door, installed plywood in place of the glass and then installed (2) 12 inch diameter industrial fans into the plywood. The neighbor quit their job and began working in the garage a minimum of three hours a day. Concerned that they may be making hash oil The DEA went in and inspected. I was told that they were blowing glass and doing something else that they couldn't disclose to me. Marijuana is legal in the state of Oregon. I suspect they are manufacturing glass pipes for smoking marijuana and also dehydrating marijuana for business purposes. I have contacted the city and was told that unless I could prove they had a business there was nothing I could do about the noise of the fans. They won't do anything about the diss-tasteful appearance of it all or the noise. Since we are only governed by CC&R's we do have the right to sue. Our CC&R's State that they must use a certain type of siding on their home, they cannot have window mounted air conditioners and they must store all debris in plastic containers which they do not. There is also a nuisance clause. We also have a clause that they cannot run a business out of their home, however I cannot prove that they are running a business. I could certainly hire a private investigator but that would be costly. My frustration is the appearance and the noise of the fans. I can hear them in my laundry room, my bedroom and my bathroom, that has a wall separating it and when the doors are closed, and also upstairs in my home. I have told several of the homeowners and they are upset about it but not very willing to help. If I hire an attorney, can I win in court based on what I have told you about my CC&R's.
