I’m needing to sue him for access per neighbor notification program.
Any ideas/comments ?

Hire a lawyer. Or start by offering the neighbor money and see if you can get to an agreement.

Hi, Architect here.
I do a lot of projects in DC and the Neighbor notification letter is a standard practice.
the easiest way to do it is to put all materials in a certified mail package and... mail it to your neighbor. Then scan (or download from usps.com) the proof of delivery.
This option is perfect when/if you have absent neighbors or the owners cannot be contacted.
Make sure you also check OTR for the proper name of the owner and the address.
Good luck!
