There is nothing you can do to bind people who built prior to the CC&Rs;were in place. Only if these things amount to a private or public nusiance (very hard to prove) can you take them to court for a permanent restraining order - very expensive also. The only thing you might check is whether this was required to be disclosed to you prior to your purchase - call your states department of real estate for this information - your best bet.

Good luck
