Hope someone can give me some guidence. I live in a new part of an ongoing developement. About a year and half ago a new house was built on the lot next to us. For some reason the builder decided the house should use an undeveloped dirt road to determine the houses elevation. The new house which is 20 feet away is elevated to where their 1st floor is almost level with my second floor. In addition the surrounding lot has been elevated to a point where we now get their water runoff when it rains. Do they have an obligation to keep their runoff on their property? I spoke to the neighbors on 3 occasions but nothing has been done. I have pictures when it rains showing runoff and silt washouts in my yard. this problem has been ongoing since the neighbors occupied the house. I spoke to our township and they offered no solutions.
