[quote]Excuse me for asking a dumb question, but has anyone ever contacted SJ Code Compliance? HOAs are pretty impotent legally, but the city has actual power (like jail time):

I have submitted multiple complaints with the HOA as well as with South Jordan City to no avail.

I drive by the Lumina/Bluerock home every day and feel badly for the people who have to live by it. The HOA doesn't do anything except to say, "They're working with the homeowner". As for the City, their response?

"Code Officers have been trying to contact the property owner for two years now. The owner lives in Nevada and has not responded to any letters. A final follow-up is scheduled for the week of May 11, 2009. If no progress is made by that time, the case will be turned over to our legal department for screening and prosecution. Please call me directly if you have further quetions. Thank you, Mindy Madden Code Compliance Lead."

So, three and a half years later, that's their response. It's truly sad.

Personally, I'm happy with Daybreak as a whole. Yes, I get on a little moan and groan kick every now and then but overall, I'm happy. We love our little piece of Founder's Village and love the people we have met. We are fortunate to have wonderful neighbors all around us and enjoy all that Daybreak has to offer.

I'm pretty sure I know "GirlInterrupted" personally and if she's who I think she is, I think I know where she is coming from. She has sacrificed her time to provide upkeep for her neighbor's homes because they can't or won't do it themselves. She has given up countless hours of her time volunteering in the Community to make Daybreak a better place only to have someone else take the credit. She attends every BOD meeting and has met with the HOA, and Kennecott, to actually get her concerns addressed instead of just complaining about them. She is an intellectual person who truly wants the best for EVERYONE here in Daybreak.

We all moved to Daybreak with some understanding that certain standards would be met. Not only have they NOT been met but it seems that there is no management. Only bureaucracy and money being spent without any thought.

I think "Girl" is truly frustrated and probably feels a little beat up for standing up for what she was promised.

If you'd like to make a complaint with the City, they have a cool form on their website called "The Fix It Forum". You can report something as small as a burned out street light to something major like junker cars.

Or, go to sjc.utah.gov, click on "Live" and scroll down to "Online Services". The Fix It Forum is on the left.
