Owners are using residential condos for commercial purposes


Question:

Our association bylaws specifically state: "All units shall be utilized for residential purposes only." At least two units in our complex are conducting businesses: one a carpet cleaning business and the other a gutter replacement business. Both list their condo address on their ads online and both have commercial vehicles parked in plain view: one with large ladders. I've just attended a board meeting and asked for that bylaw to be enforced. The board said that the bylaws were so old and the world had changed so much that they couldn't enforce this stipulation. However, it is on the books. What should I do next? I'm afraid of lowering my already plummeting property value in what the bylaws say should be a "fine residential community."
