Q: My neighbors yard is a mess and damaging to the environment can I make them clean it up?
My neighbor has tons of junk cars through out their yard. Trash every where kids with no running water and the dump stuff into the near by creek. If I can get them into legal trouble who should I contact?
A: Neighbor problems are difficult to resolve, and can escalate and become very unpleasant if neighbors are reported. Talk to your local building and zoning office first and ask if they have any ability to do anything - without giving your name or address. There could tell you there is not e much that they can do about it. And if they contact your neighbor, then your neighbor could make things worse for you. You could also file a nuisance complaint in court. But use the Find a Lawyer tab to talk to a local attorney who can advise you what is possible, and what isn't.
