What is the name of your state? New York
I purchased my home in 1990. The house next to mine had a fence that bordered my property, this house is now in closing. The real estate agent hired a surveyor who reported that the fence has to be extended about 10 feet unto my property. The real estate agent has since removed the fence, but has not put up another. I had my land surveyed and found that it was true. However, was it legal for him to take down the fence? Can I put up a fence at the original spot as my house was purchased with those original dimensions? What are my options?
