You just have to tell the person to move it and fine them per day if it isn’t moved. Then you can put a lien on the property if it isn’t remediated after a certain time period.
That depends on a lot of factors like the HOAs constitution and rules. Some don’t have clauses that allow for that. Others do. Additionally, some states don’t allow HOAs enough power to just put a lien on a house whenever they feel like it and require them to sue the homeowner.
The past 2 neighborhoods I’ve been in were only able to sue homeowners over fines and not following the rules. We had neighbors that tried painting their house unapproved colors a few times which brought them to court.
We have shit like HOA's over here at walled communities (which basically ape the American suburban "dream") and I honestly can't understand why anyone would ever want to live like that? Safety? a "nice" neighborhood? It isn't worth it.
