On Thursday, ABC13 took you to Sunnyside, where residents say developers are ignoring deed restrictions in their area.

"Don't just flick us off like a fly or a gnat," said Sunnyside resident Christie Campbell. "Hear us, hear our voices."
Well, you heard them, and residents of the MacGregor area are echoing the same concerns.
"I was like, 'Yes, we feel your pain.' All the things we're seeing, we're seeing the same thing," said Jennifer Brown, the president of the MacGregor Palms Terrace Civic Association.
Brown said, just like in Sunnyside, her neighborhood has deed restrictions that ban multi-family buildings.
But if you look around MacGregor Palms, you'll see what looks like duplexes that have been issued city permits.
"They go up in like two weeks. The frame and everything," said Jo Chevalier, resident and past civic club president. "They work so fast that if we don't go on that particular street, nobody will even see it."
Eyewitness News spoke to attorneys, civic leaders, and even a city councilman, who all confirm that it is somewhat common for city officials to issue permits that run counter to deed restrictions.
Civic clubs, like what you'll find in MacGregor Terrace and Sunnyside, can't block development. They can only file complaints with the city attorney after permits have already been issued.
Chevalier and Brown said their association has filed complaints, and added that the city attorney has now told club members that lawsuits have been filed against at least two new housing developments here. However, the ongoing litigation creates an uncertain future.
"We want our neighborhood to improve; we want to see nice homes, nice amenities," Brown said. "We just want to be respected and brought to the table to come to a decision about our neighborhood that we have lived in for years and decades."
ABC13 has reached out to the developer but hasn't heard back. ABC13 also reached out to the city attorney, whose representative said the department doesn't comment on ongoing legal cases.
