Hi,

 

I need help trying to resolve two problems with my relatively new neighbors:

 

1. My neighbors recently put up a fence.  By my survey, it's on my property.  By theirs, it's not.  How does one get this resolved?  Who decides which, if either, survey is "correct"?  What is the correct procedure for getting this resolved?  I've talked with the neighbors and they are co-operative, but we don't know what to do.

 

2. The same neighbor also installed a gigantic air conditioning unit in the front yard.  I can live with the fact that this is an ugly addition to our block, but I can't live with the amount of noise it makes.  I can no longer sit on my porch, which till now has been my morning haven, because the noise is so,  so loud - it sounds like you are sitting on an aircraft carrier or in the engine of a 747.  Are there any City regulations about this?  Is there anything I can do?  Is there a way of quieting this machine?  I have not yet approached the neighbor about this problem.  I wanted first to find out my rights and possible solutions. Does anybody know how to resolve this one?

 

I will be grateful for any help or suggestions on these.  Thanks.
