Good morning, I’m looking for best practices or lessons learned from others who have dealt with a similar situation. We have a platted subdivision with multiple phases where private common areas were established (including sidewalks). An HOA was contemplated but never formed, and the common areas remain in private ownership by the developer. The subdivision is fully built and occupied, the common areas are unbuildable, and the owner resides outside the community. We are now receiving nuisance complaints related to snow removal and lawn maintenance in those common areas. The Village did not accept dedication of the sidewalks or common areas and has no interest in assuming maintenance responsibility. For those who have encountered this: • How have you successfully resolved ongoing maintenance issues in the absence of an HOA? • Have you relied primarily on property maintenance enforcement, or were there other mechanisms that proved effective? • Are there approaches you’ve seen that helped facilitate a long-term solution without the municipality assuming responsibility? Any insight or examples would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
