How can we make badly behaved HOA residents feel a consequence?


Question:

badly behaved HOA residents 093014 resized 600

I live in a condo in NYS. In reading our governing docs I don't find an answer to this question and am wondering if anyone can help. We have residents (owners and renters) who have been given copies of rules which they have signed noting their understanding, etc. Perhaps times have changed - more than ever before we have a number of newer residents in our condos who don't adhere to the condo association rules. They pay their fines which until now have been nominal at best. We have recently voted to increase fines in hopes that it will call attention to the seriousness of the problem. Other than fines and the withholding of pool passes, is there anything else that can be done to make badly behaved, disrespectful residents feel a consequence for their actions? It seems that condos have no bite when it comes to this problem. Conversations have not helped. I keep thinking if just once we could do something to enforce our rules in a way that might cause the resident a hint of discomfort or embarrassment it might help to stop some of these behaviors that are so aggravating and frustrating to the other residents. Thanks for your help.
