What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEW YORK
I live in NYC, I'm the lower property that shares a retaining wall. It is on our property line. The wall is starting to lean in towards my pool and bent my fence. I had a contractor look at it and he said in his experience with the city the higher ground is responsible.
I contacted the owner of the house months ago and he has been delaying. I texted him yesterday and he said he would have his landscaper remove the debris.between the wall and my fence. But i send him pictures of the wall starting to cave towards my property.
All i want is to have him shared the cost, unless its his responsibility.
I haven't been able to find a lawyer to call me back on this issue either.
