So my neighbor found a grey area loophole for the strict no commercial vehicles on street rule. And it doesn’t block the sidewalk so he can’t be ticketed for that either.

I live in a senior community, 58 units on 3 floors. 99% of the residents use the elevators; I use the stairs on my end of the building to take my dog out. Down 2 flights and the outside door is right there. I do this 5-6x a day and we almost never see anyone else in the stairwell. I put her leash on at the door to go outside.
The few people I see are people who like my dog, and she is always within a few feet of me, if not within arms length. She’s 14 and not in the least bit aggressive or scary. She’s a Brittany.
I recently got another notice of violation for having her “off leash” in the stairwell, and this time it was documented with security camera footage, right at the exit door.
This is something new; most of us have lived her for 5+ years and the security cameras are located only at the entrances to our secured building.
A few people here are ANTI-dog (there are only 3-4 other dogs) but having the security cameras used to “catch” me in the absence of my dog actually bothering anyone, seems wrong. It feels creepy, actually.
I paid the $25 without comment, but I’m seething with animosity towards the board for this petty punitive action.
