compliance violations

Bill, this is entirely up to your Board. Usually it is best for the MC to perform this duty because they are more qualified and eliminates neighbors policing neighbors. This is a negotiable item in the Management Agreement and will add to the cost.

Our association had an ACC committee once and they did the violation assessments. We found that members of the committee would single out particular people and the volunteering didn't last long. This was how it was done when we did not have a management company.

Currently, we have a management company that drives the neighborhood twice a month, sends out the letters and emails copies of these letters to the board. Currently, the board acts as the ACC in terms of ACC requests but does not regularly patrol and send out letters. We prefer this method as it seems to keep the neighborhood more peaceful and the management company deals with the angry homeowners when the letter is received.

Some of our residents would prefer we lose the management company and do this ourselves but in the long run having a management company that handles this works best overall.
