Nuisances Violation Assessment
Nuisances Violation Assessment
VIOLATION REMINDER NUISANCES: Stonebrook Protective Covenants: NUISANCES [Division 1-16] No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on upon any lot, nor shall anything be done thereon which may be or may become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. No satellite dishes or radio towers shall be permitted.
Pursuant to Idaho Code Section 55-115, the Stonebrook HOA board is required to use the following approach in cases where violations of the covenants and restrictions have occurred:
When a violation has been identified, a letter is sent to the homeowner by certified mail or personal delivery.
The letter provides the homeowner with written notice of an HOA board meeting to take place 30-35 days later.
At the meeting, the board will vote on whether to impose a fine for the conduct. The homeowner will be invited to the meeting.
If the homeowner resolves the issue prior to the meeting, then by law the board may not impose a fine.
If the violation cannot reasonably be resolved within the 30-day period, no fine can legally be imposed if the homeowner “begins resolving the violation prior to the meeting” and thereafter “continues to address the violation in good faith until fully resolved.”
If the issue is not resolved and no resolution has begun by the time of the meeting, the board will vote whether or not to impose a fine for the violation.
City of Idaho Falls City Code: 5-6-10: CONTROL OF DOGS: (A) It shall be unlawful for any person to harbor or keep on his or her premises, or in his or her control any dog which, by loud and prolonged barking or howling, disturbs the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, or of the occupants of adjacent premises.
