We are an assotiation and after many complaints from neibors about balls hitting cars and the damage of the grass, we put out a notice that there is to be no ball playing on our grounds. I am the vice pres of the assotiation and would go out and tell the boys they are not to play ball. We have one unit owner that has a son that she tells not to listen and has recureted more kids to come over to play. She is extreamly foul mouthed and uses this language in front of all the kids young and old. She is accusing me for this new rule and is now verbaly atacking me every chance she gets. She is screaming on the top of her lungs that I am a coke head, a drunk, my brohter is a sex abuser, I'm a and anything else she can think of at the time. I AM NOT A COKE HEAD!! NOR A DRUNK!

Is there anything I can do??

You can call the police and see if you can have her charged with public mischief. There is obviously something wrong with her that her family is not addressing.

That's one way to go, Tick. I was going to go with "get over yourself and instead of using your pathetic position of 'authority' to lord over your neighbors and further your obviously partisan agenda, try to live in peace with your equals and stop being such a egomaniac" but Tick's answer works too

Wow, you are way out of line, stevey. I do so not agree with your post. No one has the right to do what the woman is doing. I know, I have lived in a situation where the condo authority had certain rules. This woman needs to be reminded of them, or move out, control her kids, make her kids aware that there are certain rules one must abide by to live in harmony.

The condo authority are really in a tough position to uphold certain rules and OP is obviously at his wits end to deal with this situation.

The path he should have taken was to deal directly with the woman. If the kids damage his car, hold her responsible for that, either directly or in small claims court.

It has been my experience that HOA board members tend to take themselves WAY too seriously and think of themselves as a law unto themselves.

THe OP wasn't trying to uphold rules... he MADE rules up to further his own agenda instead of dealing with the offence directly.

Is there a designated area where the kids can play ball at? If not, then have a designated area. You can't expect kids to comply with the "no ball playing rule" unless they have an area set aside for it.

Also, since your no ball playing rule went into effect, is there a penalty for this ball playing posted anywhere or is the penalty addressed in the bylaws of the HOA anywhere? There needs to be a penalty imposed for this behavior.

As for the yelling and nasty comments of that tenant. Just ignore her. You don't have to respond to her. The police can't/won't do anything. If she threatens you bodily harm or actually harms you then, yes, they can do something. In the meantime just hold your tongue and get the penalty on the books.
