What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
My next door neighbor is going to be putting in a 6' wood fence down the property line (on his property). The property line is about 2 1/2 feet from my driveway. My driveway is very long and I clean it by hand. I have to push the snow to that side of the property. The other side of my driveway is a tall retaining wall and I'm just unable to lift the snow that high.
I read on another posting that you could sue your neighbor for damages to your fence because of their snow but the neighbor was intentionally damaging the neighbor's fence.
I won't be intentionally piling snow up against his fence but in a heavy snow-fall there just isn't anywhere else for it to go. The neighbor was here last winter so is aware that I put my snow there.
Could someone please tell me my legal rights for using my property? I don't want to be sued for a fence replacement.
Thank you.
