First of all, I believe I speak for roughly 1/2 of the home owners in Holland Park, if not more.
I work hard keeping my front and back lawns looking presentable. My neighbor is a renter and neither he, or the owner, lifts a finger to work on either the front or rear lawns. This affects my property value.
What recourse do I have?

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. This is a problem.
Have you had the opportunity to talk to your neighbor? I don't know that there's much recourse that can be done other than if the weeds get too large for code inforcement, you may call them. 719 444-7891
Have you have the chance to contact the owner of the property? Property owners are listed on the El Paso Co Assessors site. You may send them a letter requesting their assistance. www.http://land.elpasoco.com
I'm sorry, I know what you mean. I have a similar situation. Since we only have our volunteer community associatoin. We really don't have the strength of the whole community to enforce by-laws. The only way we would be able to enforce by-laws is to vote as a whole community (1,137 homes) to have a "Homeowners" association again. They association expired once Holland Park became 25 years old.

Also, I've created a page on facebook under Holland Park Community Association. www.facebook.com so we all can talk as a whole there.
I do what I can to create a sense of community here in Holland Park. Your continued work on your property is very much appreciated.
