Summary
No noxious, offensive, or nuisance activity may be conducted in community areas, on a homeowner’s property, or inside a home (including garages), whether willfully or negligently. Homeowners are directed to refer nuisance complaints to local law enforcement rather than solely to the HOA.
Applicable Rules
| Rule | Source | Section |
|---|---|---|
| No nuisance or offensive activity in Community Areas, on property, or in homes/garages | R&Rs 2013/2021 | 8 (ref. Declaration Art. 8 Sec. 6) |
| Applies to both willful and negligent conduct | R&Rs 2013/2021 | 8 |
| Nuisance complaints should be referred to local law enforcement | R&Rs 2013/2021 | 8 |
Declaration Cross-Reference
The R&Rs’ nuisance rule explicitly cites Declaration Article 8 Section 6. Declaration Section 8.06 prohibits noxious or offensive activity, or any activity that constitutes an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood, on any Lot or in any structure. The Declaration’s prohibition is the underlying authority; the R&Rs implement it operationally and direct complaints to law enforcement.

Open Questions
- The R&Rs direct nuisance complaints to law enforcement but do not exclude HOA action — it is unclear whether the Board can also fine for nuisance violations independently of law enforcement involvement. The Declaration’s Section 8.06 does not require law enforcement involvement before HOA action, so Board fines for nuisance violations may be available.
