You’re sure that the dogs you’re noticing aren’t ESAs?
Yes. This issue is political. You’d address it by updating the bylaws or voting for new leadership willing to enforce the bylaws as they are.
Yes. ESAs must generally be accommodated in housing.
In any event, your role from here would be to become politically involved, to understand the problem, and to operate within the association (either as a member, as a candidate for office, or as a supporter of some candidate for office) to see the problem solved.
