[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you ask for a temporary solution during construction then do your permanent work as you planned? Approaching them now will also give an idea of what their permanent plans are for remediation.

What did the city official say? [/quote]

Thanks for responses.  The City official said that the people doing the building had created the problems and that they were responsible for correcting the drainage problems in their yard that were creating the washout problems in our yard and the neighbors' yards.  The inspector said that they had given the neighbor numerous citations for water runoff into the street and putting construction debris into the regular trash.   He wasn't clear if they did anything about it, because when it rains the water gushes not only through our yard but down the street.   I feel bad for our three neighbors, and we will do everything we can to control the water being dumped into our yard.  It seems like the City has no enforcement mechanism and we just have to clean up their problems if we want to preserve our yards.[/quote]

This sounds incredibly frustrating. What is the point of City citations if they can’t be enforced? I believe you want to be a good neighbor but I think you need to take action with your neighbors because it not sound like the building neighbors would be willing to cooperate with you if you’re not willing to cooperate with the city.[/quote]
