Check if the listings also violate local planning laws and if so contact your local planning office. In the past our local planning office was reticent to become involved beyond sending a notification of potential violation. These were mostly ignored. My locality a few years ago passed new rules requiring registration of short term rentals and certain requirements to do so including being in compliance with HOA rules. Since then the planning office has become more willing to take actual action.
Those willing to ignore HOA rules are often willing to ignore local tax collection rules so contacting your local tax authority to let them know you suspect someone violating the local tax laws is an option. Even when the planning officials were hesitant to get involved the tax folks were willing.
I have reported realtors which own or have close connections to those owning short term units violating HOA rules to the state licensing board. My experience is that realtors willing to knowingly violate HOA rules have often previously been censured by the licensing board for other issues. This in particular has been amazingly effective at getting units quickly removed and listed for sale. Once the listing is removed I withdraw my complaint and I have never had to follow through to completion.
Luckily once the registration laws went into effect there have only been a couple of people attempting to do short term rentals in my HOA and reporting them locally has ended those attempts.
