Can I Sue My HOA for Something My Neighbor Does?
Briefly

In Glendale, California, a homeowner faces privacy issues from new neighbors who built a balcony overlooking their property. The homeowners association (HOA) claims it can't act because no city laws prevent this structure. Legal action is an option, but it comes with risks, including potential costs and strain on neighborly relations. A suggested initial approach is to communicate with neighbors about privacy concerns and consider other solutions, such as plant barriers. Consulting an attorney can provide clarity on the situation and potential outcomes.
Privacy disputes between neighbors can certainly be settled in court, but it can be expensive, time-consuming and bad for relationships.
If you lose in court, you could be liable for paying your neighbors' legal fees, depending on what your HOA's governing documents say.
