Violation Workflow Agent

Runs consistent violation steps with timelines and template notices, so enforcement is even and documented instead of varying case to case.

The Problem

Violations get handled differently each time. Disputes follow.

Enforcement is inconsistent. Residents dispute the process, not the violation.

What Changes

Consistent steps, timelines, and documented notices.

Runs the violation sequence - first notice, cure period, second notice, hearing referral - with correct timelines and template language. Every case follows the same documented process.

Humans stay in control: Your manager and board decide enforcement. The agent runs the steps consistently and documents them. It removes the inconsistency, not the authority.

HOW THE AGENT WORKS

TRIGGERLLMAPIDECISIONACTIONWAIT
TRIGGERViolation LoggedA violation is reported or observed
APIDetermine StageFind where this violation is in the process
LLMPrepare NoticeDraft the stage-appropriate notice
ACTIONIssue NoticeSend and document the notice

ACTIONEscalateAdvance to the next enforcement step
The agent doesn't judge violations. It runs the consistent process and documents each step. The board and manager make the calls.

HOW TO BUILD IT

Three levels of depth. Pick the one that matches where you are.

For the ops person who needs to understand what's involved and brief their team.

Your ViolationsReported issues
The AgentWorkflow engine + LLM
Your ProcessConsistent enforcement

WHAT YOUR TEAM PROVIDES ONCE

  • Violation process - the stages, timelines, and notices
  • Notice templates - the wording per stage
  • Cure periods - how long owners get to fix
  • Escalation rules - when to advance or hear
  • Documentation - where the process trail is kept
What happens day-to-day: A violation gets logged. The agent runs your defined process, the right notice, the cure period, the next step if uncured, and documents each move, so enforcement is consistent and there is a clean record if it is ever disputed.

For the IT person or technical lead who needs to scope the integration.

WITHOUT PMS API

Agent works from a violation log and drafts the stage notices for manual sending. The process logic still runs.

WITH PMS API

Agent runs the violation process live and documents each step. Best experience.

For the person who wants to build this agent step by step. Each node below maps to an n8n workflow node.

TRIGGERNode 1
Trigger - Violation Logged
A violation report or inspection finding opens the workflow.
Output: { violation_id, owner_id, type, observed_date }
APINode 2
HTTP Request - Determine Stage
Find the current enforcement stage and history for this violation.
Output: { stage, prior_notices[], cure_deadline }
LLMNode 3
LLM - Prepare Notice
Draft the stage-appropriate notice from the template.
Output: { notice, stage, cure_period }
You prepare an HOA violation notice for the current stage.

Using the VIOLATION PROCESS and TEMPLATES, draft the stage notice with the cure period. State facts and the rule cited; do not editorialise.
Return notice, stage, cure_period. Respond ONLY with valid JSON.

VIOLATION PROCESS: {violation_process}
TEMPLATES: {templates}
VIOLATION: {violation}
INPUT
{ "type": "unapproved exterior paint", "stage": "first_notice" }
OUTPUT
{
  "notice": "NOTICE OF VIOLATION - Architectural. Our records indicate an unapproved exterior paint color at your property, in violation of CC&R Section 4.2. Please remedy within 30 days or submit an ARC application.",
  "stage": "first_notice",
  "cure_period": "30 days"
}
ACTIONNode 4
Issue Notice
Send the notice and record it with date and stage.
Output: Notice issued and documented.
WAITNode 5
Track Timeline
Track the cure period; check whether the violation is resolved by the deadline.
Output: Cure status tracked.
DECISIONNode 6
Condition - Cured?
IF resolved → close and document. ELSE → escalate to the next stage (notice, fine, hearing) per process.
Output: Branch: CURED (close) or UNCURED (escalate)
ACTIONNode 7
Escalate
Advance to the next enforcement step per the process and document it.
Output: Process advanced consistently with a full record.
