Recorded covenants may be enforced by anyone who is a victim of the covenant violation. That person or persons may file a lawsuit for injunctive relief prohibiting violation of the covenants in any court having jurisdiction over the matter.
Another Answer
Some governing body defined the covenants and that governing body must have an enforcment process. Chat with the city attorney or the local sheriff to verify the covenants you believe are being violated, and then research who you go to to effect enforcement.
(Both answers are giving the same advice.)

If no association exists, then you must turn to the county sheriff, or local police to enforce their covenants/ laws. Your local land-use office can confirm the existence of an association -- or confirm that there is no association for every address involved.
If your association is simply inactive, then enforcing any part of the governing documents is problematic.
A local common-interest-community-savvy attorney can help you plan to activate your association so that existing covenants can be enforced.

Can you be held liable to a homeowners association you did not agree to?
If you purchased real estate already established as a homeowners association, you are subject to that private government. You received copies of the governing documents when you sat with the title company and signed that mountain of documents. Your realtor told you that you were buying into an association. _______________ However . . . If you purchased real estate in a community without an association, and your neighbors are forming an association, as an owner you are entitled to full disclosure as to what your liabilities are and/or will be once the association is formed. Usually, you can resist joining a newly formed association by being 'grand-fathered in' in your current exempt state, but when the property is sold, it may be required to become subject to the association -- or not. This is a legal issue with no standard. Best practices dictate that you engage the services of a local common-interest-community attorney to help you preserve and participate in the position you want.

Does a subdivision without common areas need liability insurance and why?
I don't see any need for liability insurance in the case you described. In cases where you have a homeowners association or a condo owners association and they own common property such as a swimming pool, parks, roofs, sidewalks, etc. then they would have a need for both property and liability insurnance to cover these areas. This is what you dues are in place to pay for as well as maintenance.
