Welcome to Chestnut Farms
Hello neighbors,
Regarding the ongoing door bell ringing / ding dong ditch activities:
The Association’s authority is strictly limited to the enforcement of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and the maintenance of common areas. The issue referenced above has been identified as a civil matter between multiple private parties rather than a violation of the Association’s governing documents. Consequently, the Association is unable to intervene or take enforcement action at this time. The Association must remain neutral and independent in all civil matters. Participation in any capacity can set precedent for future situations.
Suggested Resolutions
Because the HOA lacks the legal authority to mediate this situation, we suggest the following:
Community Awareness via Public Forums: You may wish to utilize our community’s public forums, such as the neighborhood website and or social media groups for surrounding neighborhoods, to raise general awareness. Posting a polite, non-confrontational reminder about neighborhood etiquette can often alert multiple parents at once and foster a collective effort to address the issue.
Civil Authorities: If the matter involves a violation of county ordinances or a breach of peace, please contact the appropriate local law enforcement or municipal code enforcement office.
