I am in a townhome community. Longest living resident here at 12 years. 25 year old girl, drinker, smoker, loud music on the porch courthouse working girl moves next door. A fellow neighbor invited us over for pizza a year ago, ends at 2am, she texts me over and over after it was over to come over to her place. I decline. She gets angry and I block her. I am a 35 year old looking 53 year old single male no kids. I live a mature responsible life. Had to get co text out of the way.
She joined the board. I get a Christmas card on my door with trash in it (plastic for a childs toy). I donāt have children or know any. Her writing in the card says, ākeep your trash off my propertyā. I take the card and drop it 2 feet away on her door mat taking offense at the act. Neighbor days later installs a Ring doorbell (an audio and video recording device) on the exterior wall (against gov docs). I arrive home and she immediately communicates through it as I am opening my door āI can see you, everything you do and I am watching youā. Unprovoked. Device is angled towards my door, not forward facing. I call the police. I provide the statutes about audio recording devices, statutes of trash dumping and they refuse to even talk to her. They did not care or agree with the statute. The next day, walking my dog, she comes out of the home with video phone rolling screaming at the top of her lungs to illegibility. Then walks inside and slams the door. Cops come back. They advise restraining order. I file temporary restraining order, she counters with attorney. Goes to court, judge willing to do a no co tact. Her attorney objects and he does nothing but dismiss.
I get warning letters to cease and desist for calling cops and harassing neighbor. I provide a thorough explanation of events, they reiterate their position. From the HOA that is.
Neighbor sets up 4 more cameras. 3 in the front in my home and parking space and 2 in the back porch and her bedroom facing into my back porch and yard. 2 cameras face into my home. I file temporary restraining order, she counters. Court refuses to entertain either.
Continuing, get a $1000 violation letter for parking onto the white line (rear tire about 5 mm) for parking into her parking space and disrupting her parking. I respond with the obvious that it was a rear tire, 5 mm, and a one time shot. Not in her space, or impeding anything. Next, I get a response saying I am parking too close to the white line that is closest to her spot (we have adjascent). I respond that I am parking within my spot, not touching the line and I am parking close to the line, but not touching or going on or over the line to avoid her three cameras pointing directly at me, my property and my space - and they are an illegal device and violation of the gov docs).
They respond again stating that me adjusting my car in and out of the space to position the car is an attempt be a nuisance to her (sheās not even home when I am) and issue a $1000 fine. But wait, there is more......
I receive another violation for not ever being approved by the borard as a renter. I explained I do not rent but live here with the owner (who got married recently and moved out). I respond I have lived here longer than any resident, given yearly passes, spoken at board meetings, on the registry for 12 years. Nothing in the gov docs addresses non owners except renters. They issue a $1000 fine to me. I rectify the matter with the owner by the owner setting up a legal living trust and I become the trustee of the property and legal owner. The board says, not approved and the fine stands.
Lastly, they never followed up or through on legitimate violations committed by the neighbor that are covered in the docs. I have amassed 3,000 images since this began of vehicles parked over the line grossly and habitually. They have not responded to any concerns or requests in the gov docs for matters and hearings, they are sending Max fee letters for violations that do not exist. Fees are to begin at $100, and ultimately max to $1000. In Florida, it takes a $2000 to get a lien.
This 25 year old must have have magical feminine powers because this is what she has successfully created.
I have no idea how to get this to stop without a $500 hour attorney to the tube of $50,000 and higher. This 25 year old is accomplishing what she set out to do. Since 2007 I live here, keep to myself, donāt engage, work from home, I have a puppy and mind my own business.
Last I heard is āfines standā in an e-mail. How do I resolve these matters and issues. The board isnāt concerned about gov docs, procedures, hearings... yet...they are instituting fines and attempting to get a lien by virtue of the $2000 threshold. She has managed, the neighbor, to create this. Now, Iām on my heels and I literally have not violated anything, she has, they have, and when I follow procedure in requesting hearings, etc....nothing.
