You have to hand it to the homeowner for following up numerous times about whether or not the other neighbor received the same threat.
He ended up reaching out to that neighbor to receive confirmation himself about his communication with the HOA, since the board member with whom he had been exchanging emails was being purposely vague.
Once he received word that the neighbor had not been threatened with the same fine, the homeowner knew he had a case, so to speak. Not only did he double down on his refusal to accept a fine, but he also insisted that if he were to spend money on a power wash for this shared driveway, all parties involved should have to split that cost.
If the HOA could not accept those terms, then the homeowner has no obligation to power wash the driveway. After all, it wasn’t written in his contract to do so!
