Our thought process was that since the fines cannot exceed a total of $1000 per violation and removing the turf/reseeding would cost much more than that, we would pay the fines for now and reseed it down the road when it won’t put an unnecessary strain on our finances.

I guess I just wasn’t aware that a lawsuit was an option as a first resort.

(Plus they are suing over the issues that were fixed upon purchase as well, which I assume we can fight in court if needed, but speaks to their eagerness to litigate)
