HOA--what happens now?
We went through the appropriate channels to contact our Homeowners Association about the rooster that lives next door. They have received numerous complaints and are "taking care of it". So what does that entail? I'm just curious...what is an appropriate time frame to expect this to be "taken care of"? Do they send a letter first? (I wonder if they already have?) What happens if our neighbors refuse to comply with the deed restrictions?
Re: HOA--what happens now?
When DH worked for an HOA management company he told me they send 1 or 2 letters, then a certified letter, then start imposing fines for non-compliance. So sadly, it could take a while.
Depending on the restrictions where you live, I'd probably just skip straight to calling animal control myself.
Sounds like someone needs a bb gun
I kid.
Contact animal control. That would drive me nuts.

This. If you're inside Houston city limits, there are zoning restrictions against having chickens/roosters.
We're in Katy, outside of Houston city limits. I'm curious about how calling animal control would work. Do they just come out and get the animal?
We live in a real neighborhood, with fences, and it IS against deed restrictions to have chickens/roosters. Honestly, the hens don't bother me because they're pretty quiet, but when the rooster started crowing at 10:30 last night I got mad all over again. I think we're going to wait 30 days from yesterday and if the rooster is still there we will call the HOA again.
I did suggest we call the President of the HOA at 5:15 this morning when the rooster sounded it's morning alarm. I figure if it's going to disturb me then they deserve to be disturbed too.
If I could shoot the thing myself, I swear I would. (and for the record, it is crowing as I type this.)
We've had a few issues where the HOA's letters and threats of fines have proven useless. We're dealing with a specific noise complaint issue on our street right now that the HOA has received several complaints about but the offender persists. The HOA told my DH that they're doing what they can but that they recommend we call the police the next time the noise is an issue because the HOA only has so many resources for enforcement.
In the rooster situation, I'd have no qualms about contacting the police and animal control!
