I have a dispute with my homeowners association over whether or not they will force my neighbor to shut up their barking dog. How do I start?
If your HOA governing documents provide that a unit owner may not commit a nuisance, you can force the HOA to take action by serving a formal "Request For Resolution"  If the HOA does nothing for 30 days, you can file a law suit to force them to, or at least let the court rule on the issue, and obtain attorney fees and costs reimbursement rights.  This is a common problem.
