Call the Health Dept and the police and follow up with whatever agency they send you to.

You can sue the neighbor for nuisance and get an order that they stop. If there is a violation of the CC&R's, By Laws, or other rules and regulations governing the HOA, you can also get an order that the HOA enforce their rules.
