Lakewood HOA covenants are enforced under Ohio Revised Code 5312.15. Associations must follow due-process procedures before imposing fines: written notice, opportunity to be heard, and reasonable cure period. CC&R amendments require supermajority vote per declaration.
ORC 5312.11 and 5312.15 govern enforcement. Written notice of violation required with description, cure period (typically 30 days), and hearing opportunity before fines. Fines must be reasonable and proportionate. Selective enforcement is a valid defense. Liens for unpaid fines under ORC 5312.12. CC&R amendments typically require 66-75% owner approval per declaration; some require all affected owners' consent.
Violation of CC&Rs: fines per declaration, lien, and potential lawsuit. Association procedural failure: violation notice can be overturned.
