Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.

I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence.

Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi.

I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property.

Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners.

Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for.

What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi.

You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi.

I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home.

The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line.

This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs).

We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property? If i have a friend staying in my shed can the cops tell him he cant live in there? or the city? My neighbor runs a large landscaping business on two residentially zoned contiguous parcels behind my property. He is allowed to operate a business on these parcels by the Township because one of the parcels is considered “grandfathered-in” with non-conforming business zoning. Although this landscaping business has direct access to a road behind his property which runs through a neighborhood, all his traffic uses my driveway, which I share with a neighbor on the east side. My family and I have been harassed and intimidated since the day we moved in five years ago with four police reports to prove this. My question, how do I get back control of my driveway and ideally, make the business go out the other entrance? Right across the road from my property are my and one neighbor’s mailboxes. They turn come from their home and turn around in my driveway when they get their mail because it is more convenient for them to do that. Recently, they accused me of some things and I told them to not come on my property anymore. The city came in today and painted the curb in front of my house red as well as stuck a big “no parking” sign directly in front of my house. I was never made aware this was going to happen and it now draws away from my house, possibly devaluing it. When opening a liquor store, the prospective liquor store owner should check to make sure that the location that they have chosen is zoned for selling liquor. Just before opening a liquor store, it was discovered that there were zoning legal issues. Whether their attorney was responsible will depend in part on whether they were hired as a business set-up and zoning attorney, or something else.
Can My Neighbor Dig in My Driveway if His Sewer is Backed Up?
My neighbor’s sewer is backed up. He wants to dig in my driveway, claiming a gas line running on his. What rights does he have if I don’t consent? He’s a lawyer and threatens a lawsuit claiming the law being on his side. I am in the town of North Hempstead, Long Island, NY. The town office says I have the rights to my property, but it’s deemed a private matter and they wouldn’t/couldn’t get involved. My sister lives in Florida and just replaced her back yard fence. The fence is on her property not the property line (approx 1 ft before the property line). The neighbors child has poked holes in every panel of this brand new 3000.00 fence by beating some sort of sharp implement on it! Hello my name is Mike writing you from Howell, New Jersey. My question is: my township gave me the approval for a fence on a 25′ setback via”variance”. Then a township engineer came to inspect my pool, and found an encroachment only on the fence. Can the township legally make me move it back the foot that’s an encroachment issue after giving me the approval on my original permit? Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for he installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to where it was a farm but found out nothing else about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind put underground. “I own roughly 30 acres with my brother that was left to us by a grandparent. We want to subdivide the property. It has been surveyed and a proposed split has been made. The property is part of a larger piece that was subdivided in 1988. My town didn’t have zoning til 1999. Am I still eligible for first cut if the original division was done prior to zoning?” My and my neighbor’s property lines run across the same pond and back to land on the other side, splitting the pond in 3 sections. Questions exist as to if property lines exist within water, and thus required to stay within property lines, or does entire pond become available for full use of all 3 owners? When lot was originally purchased the developer had originally staked out property line. At time of purchase buyer had landscaper install trees along designated property line. 6 years later, the adjoining lot has been sold and survey now indicates the property line is now different and trees are on neighbor’s property. Any options? I’m trying to work out an exchange of easements with a neighbor who owns property on both sides of me. I need an easement across one of their properties in order to reach an otherwise inaccessible part of my property, and they want an easement across my property to get from one to the other of theirs. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. the driveway is behind my house on an alley. the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. Is not my driveway considered my curtilage? Does the city have the right to look inside or otherwise open or demand inspection of the locked car on my premises without a warrant? At what point does my right to privacy become violated here? My deed states that the nonexclusive right of way, which is the driveway to my property was bought, paid for and is transferred with the property to future owners. My question: Do I have to share the driveway with the property owner? The property adjoining the driveway was bought by another person who lays claim to the driveway, or right of way, of access. Do I have to maintain the road at my total expense if other property owners are using it? I live in a small town that used to have a one man water works. Years ago, the city put a water line to a neighbor’s property, inside my property while we were away. Since then, it occasionally develops leaks which they have to come on my property to fix, and they leave ruts that they do not smooth over. They were never given permission to put the line there. Do I have a right to have them remove it from my property? I live in Texas. There is a water leak on my property that the village is unable to locate. It is not on my service line or meter, it has been determined that it is from old abandoned village lines that the village does not use anymore or have a map for. They dug up my yard last May 2011 and couln’t find anything, brought in 2 different water specialists and they couldn’t find anything, so they covered up the holes threw out some grass seed and never came back. Since this time my yard has become a muddy mess. “I am having an issue with the utility company in NYS. The title was searched, and there was no recorded ROW or Easement with the Town or County. I contacted the company to have them remove the pole and now they are saying they have a notarized unrecorded document granting them easement dating back to 1967. Is this a legal easement, and am I now out of luck with them moving it? Thank you for your assistance.” Hi. I bought a house recently and was trying to refinance it when the bank called and said we would have to get an environmental study done on the property because there is a conveyance on the deed that says for the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas tank and lines. I cannot find where this tank may have been and have researched the deed back 60 years to when it was a farm, but found nothing about the conveyance and if there was a tank of any kind installed underground. What rights do I have to compel a neighbor to remove his drainage piping that exists outside the legally recorded easement on my property? I purchased a lakefront, unimproved lot from my neighbor in August, 2000 in Virginia. It had a drainage easement along the property line adjoining my neighbor’s lot but well outside the build-able area. Prior to selling me the property, the neighbor owned both my lot and the adjacent lot, where he built his home. Some friends hired a building contractor to add on to their home. The city issued a building permit for the job. The building inspectors inspected the work and failed to require the contractor to install vent flashings on the pipes coming thru the roof. It rained and the roof collapsed. I just bought a foreclosed home and my neighbor has told me the previous owner gave him easement for his septic. You can see where it was put in as the ground has been freshly dug. It is about five feet from my pole barn. We live in a small town in northern Michigan where it is not uncommon for people to dig a whole and drop a fuel oil tank to hold their sewage. My house and my neighbor’s house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. I have a rare vehicle parked in my driveway. I am in the process of restoring it. The driveway is behind my house on an alley and the car is not visible from the street. The code enforcement guy is trying to say that it is a public nuisance. I very much disagree. My house and my neighbors house share a common sewer line; that is, my sewer line crosses over into their property and then connects with their sewer line. The combined line connects with the main sewer running underneath the city street. The neighbor has started doing major renovations and has broken the sewer lines as part of their foundation work. I received an “Unauthorized use of Easement” letter from the electric company notarized and signed by an attorney. The electric company is recording the unauthorized use of the easement in Real Property Records in our state of Texas. My neighbor works for a family owned business that is fully licensed, however she works from home which is a rental (she lives downstairs we live upstairs). My biggest problem is that our shared driveway is constantly used for business parking and the driveway is always full of cars, making it so that if we want to have company while there is a meeting going on, our guests have to park down the street. My neighbor bought an overgrown wooded lot (about an acre) which has two water run off easements running through it and has since the subdivision was built in the 1960’s. This property they bought borders our property. One of the easements runs through our backyard, through their property and then into an agricultural pond not owned by them. Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system. He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it. Would an easement be a good solution to this problem? Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn’t it be at least 3 foot away from us? My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate. How do I know which end of the fence is mine and which end is his? Can I put up a barrier on my side of the fence? Our Township just recently adopted zoning.
