Hi there, I am new to our association. I just moved here about 5 months ago. It is a house HOA community. Issue is I have a neighbor that seems to be wanting a peep show onto my property. Right when we moved in we noticed an incredibly bright light faced directly onto my backyard, but also right into my bedroom slider. Unfortunately, we spoke to the neighbor about it and in a nutshell they won’t do anything about it. I purchased plantation shutters on the window ( kinda expensive) and now I can’t even open my window or slider in the room due to the bright flood light that hits our bedroom!

Today I was looking out my kitchen window into the yard and I saw this peeping Tom looking over our fence area into our yard. oddly as it is the neighbors fence is up a slight incline so the have a higher view of our lower yard. The weird part is this person has a faux lattice on the upper 1/3 of her fence leaving the bottom 2/3rd open to look out and flood the area with her light.

Our CCR’s don’t really address this. I know its not an HOA issue, but is it a realistic request to put a privacy screen along the bottom of this fence, it backs up to a service ara ( telephone and electrical) so it is accessible. A 5 x 6 foot faux lattice or screen on the opposite side facing the service area would help this. There are not HOA guidelines for fence/ privacy issues, but it is a reasonable request?
