This is a no win situation.  You tell him you heard it through the grapevine and he will wonder who is talking about him and his business.  And more so how you know all these details.

Why don’t you just play it straight? The old “don’t tell

Do you think your neighbor would hate you if you mentioned that
you’d heard of people losing a bundle because they had to tear out
a non-compliant structure? I’m presuming that your motive really
is for them to be spared a major hassle. You could embellish a
little, “A friend of mine really got beat up by the licensing
people because he screwed up on some stupid details . . . “.

Every day, I receive email messages sent to me from fake sender

While I have never done this before, I now have a need to do send
an
email completely anonymously (preferably using our homeowner
association
email address ;) and would like to know how this can be done
safely and
not illegally.
To briefly explain, we have a neighbor who has poured the
foundation to
build a structure in his back yard (without obtaining a building
permit)
and if he should proceed, this non-compliant structure will cause
him
even greater expense and hardship if he is not prevented from
proceeding.
The size of the foundation makes it very obvious that the
structure is
not in compliance with either city building codes or HOA
requirements.
Needless to say, we want to avoid causing hard feelings with our
neighbor, so we would like to be able to alert the city
authorities
*anonymously* in order to protect our neighbor from continuing
and ending
up with very costly consequences.
Regrettably, our home owner's association has taken the position
that
they will indeed take the necessary corrective actions, including
notifying the city building code department, once the building is
built
and visible from the street; however, they say that they will not
take
any action until the building is built and a "visible" violation
has
actually been committed.  How stupid is that?

Is it against your HOA's CC&R's to pour a slab in the back yard of
your house?  Probably not.  If not the HOA would not have a leg to
stand on.  Once a structure is visable even if it is just the frame
it probably will then fall under your HOA's jurisdiction.

I would assume city code requires a permit to lay down concrete for
any use.  At this point it is probably a city issue.

So, my question is, how can I send an email to the city building
code
enforcement department to alert them of the homeowner's failure
to obtain
a building permit so that the email will appear to be from our
homeowner
association?
I have already spoken to them by phone, but they will not take
any action
until they receive a formal "complaint" via their online input
form which
requires submitting the name and contact information of whoever
is filing
the complaint.  They say that such reports are best and usually
filed by
HOAs and not by neighbors, to avoid needless conflicts.
Obviously, I could just wait until my neighbor has spent all the
money to
build the structure and then have a prolonged legal action to
force him
to tear it down, but how much better to protect him from all that
needless pain and expense?

I would never spoof an email.  Who knows where that can lead. 
They will be able to track it back to you anyway, unless you really
get fancy.
