What is the name of your state? Pa

I have not yet moved into my new home yet. It is in the process of being built. There are a few trees and bushes on the property line. One of the trees was damaged several weeks ago by a storm and the neighobor living behind my new home seems to not care, as it has not been fixed. It is quite a large branch that has snapped and is dead. Once I move in, there seems to be some things that I have to already take care of, like doing some work to another tree so that it is safe (also on the peroperty line), cleaning up years worth of grass clippings that he has placed onto my property (done before the construction began) etc. I have enough of this guy's crap to clean up and take care of, should I or can I hold him responsible for the repairs of the tree? I am not sure if he planted it yet.

If it's on your land, it is your reaponsibility.

They are literally cut in half by the property line though. BTW, I don't technically own the property yet, the builder still does.
