I want to know if I have a case worth fighting or just let it go. Location: Wildwood, FL

Backstory- we built a pool and the HOA informed us that the edge of the pool enclosure must be 15 feet from the back property line. We were also told that the Air Conditioning Unit and Pool Pump could not be relocated to the side of the house due to HOA rules.

Fast forward one year later: 5 houses down they are building a pool and built in that 15 feet we were told we couldn't use, they also have relocated their AC Unit and pool pump to the side of their house.

When I asked about this, here is the response I received: After reviewing the situation, it does appear that the recent approval on Canopy Oak did not fully align with the setback requirements outlined in the governing documents. In this instance, the Board of Directors acknowledges that an oversight occurred during the review process, and the application was approved without requiring compliance with the applicable setback standards.

Basically saying sorry but nothing we can do now.

I feel like this is not right and looking for advice as to if I should seek legal council or is it even worth the fight?
