At my mothers house her backyard neighbor's lawn is graded 8 inches too high. It is creating a drainage issue which you can clearly see from the pictures. This has been an issue ever since the (her/our) house was built. A couple months ago, a surveyor from the city was sent out and the grade is in fact 8 inches too high making him in violation. The city cannot force him to do anything about the issue and which essentially leaves my mother to take civil action. He was sent a letter once from the city since they came and surveyed saying that he was in violation (I need to call the city to get a copy of the letter to see what it stated). We really do not have any interest in talking directly to him because he clearly seemed to take the letter as a joke. I say that because he has not confronted us let alone fix the issue. We have also had issues with him dumping yard waste onto the property (separate issue). For some reason he has always had some dislike towards us. Lawyer's aren't cheap without a doubt but it's getting kind of old dealing with the issue. I believe it's time to let the court system do it's job. I'm kind of venting here and I really can't think of any other options? We may have the alderman for the district communicate with him through us. Thanks for reading fellas
