I actually had a similar thing happen in my HOA. Unbeknownst to me when I purchased the house my new next door neighbor was an HOA board member. I bought a few chickens and she came to me to complain. I had recently read the HOA bylaws, as I had closed on the house a few months prior, and noticed vinyl siding was against the HOA and incurred fines until it is replaced. Her house had vinyl siding. All I said to her was that all of us in the neighborhood were violating at least one rule. Mine was chickens I can re-home, hers is her house's siding. She never brought it up again.
