When the HOA is no longer functional the covenants are null and void.

I would suppose that when you complain to the HOA a couple of times and get nowheres, you soon get the idea that the HOA is now not going to do anything. In which case, while you are not released from compliance, you know nothing will happen to you.

Well, if the neighborhood is in a mess, I don't think anyone would want to buy into it. That is why I am not against HOAs since they do keep people in compliance. The only part I don't like is when they go amok.
