neighbors draining water onto my property
Comments (1)Maybe that was the easy choice for them without using some common sense. Perhaps talk with them about it on friendly terms before you do anything. Around here that could easily be resolved with a call to the local codes board .. inspector would squash it fast... and its also in potential lawsuit territory too. But neighbor makes for good neighbors....See Moreneighbors stubs and damages all my trees on property line
Comments (42)Interesting enough, all the anti-neighbor folks assume there must be some city ordinance to prevent offended neighbors from trimming limbs hanging over their property. There seldom is and the police have other matters with which to deal. The police don't handle that. At least not in towns in this area (my own, family's or where rental property is located). It's the Town Code Enforcer who handles it. That's what they get paid to do. My mother's town has strict tree codes (well, they're ultra strict about everything.) If a property owner's tree is overhanging a fence or property line, it can be trimmed back by neighbor providing it is: in danger of touching a building or wires, impeding growth of neighbor's own landscaping, or has potential to do some kind of structural damage on neighbor's premises (fence, buildings, etc.) However, neighbor cannot trim tree in such a way that it will bring on disease, poor growth habit or death. If in doubt, contact the code enforcer for an inspection. I'd suggest you look into that angle, chinchette. If you walk into your town hall, you should freely be given a copy of the code/ordinance that addresses your situation....See MoreNeighbor Planted Leyland Cypress 3 ft. from my Property
Comments (71)Please, don't suggest that she commit illegal acts. Besides, it won't work that well anyway. Lets see. The vindictive old guy suddenly sees all of his trees die off, maybe the grass around them too. He knows that the only person who would profit from it is this neighbor who has been feuding about those trees for the last couple of years. So the next act of vindictive old guy is to put in an ugly metal privacy fence 10 feet high. Or perhaps he decides this is the spot to establish that junkyard he has always wanted to find a spot for. So a pile of rusted tractors and farm implements suddenly appear in that corner of his property, and maybe a junked car or two. He might even replant those trees on his side of the junk, so he does not need to look at it. Even if nobody can prove that you did it, the vindictive, pissed off old guy knows who did it. Doing something stupid will only escalate the fight. John...See MoreNeighbor putting trash can in front of my house
Comments (36)I get it! This is 12 yrs later and narcissistic abuse is so much more common today. I am a 62 yr old woman, and have some nasty neighbors right next door. We (they are a couple, half my age) had a runin due to them allowing their dog to do its business in my yard, instead of theirs. I should not have to clean up after them (their trash blows over in my yard and all around the neighborhood) or their dog. They NEVER cleaned up their dogs crap from my yard, it was me. And the flies ugh. I wasnt even able to open windows to allow some fresh air in due to their stench. When I spoke with them and asked them to stop, things got worse. Because they continued to allow this, I had no choice but to call animal control. Since then, they have made my life a nightmare. They saw an ambulance take me to the hospital the other night. They know that I am currently home. Today, their trash toter is back in front of my house, instead of theirs. They push and push, daring me to do something. THEY ARE BULLIES. This is just one of their many ways to abuse. Elder abuse, pure plain and simple. And because people are so easily offended, and even defend disgusting behaviors, one (decent people) may not be exactly sure how to proceed. And get attacked for even asking for advice. But I will be calling the county attorneys office tomorrow to see what may be done....See Moremillworkman
