Neighbor's garage is leaning against our house wall

dustywolf142 said:Our house and our neighbor's share a property line where the walls are separate, but the lot behind us belongs entirely to him. Now, he’s gone and put up this eyesore—some kind of makeshift garage or wood shed made out of rebar and a roof. It’s hideous. It sits literally two centimeters from our exterior wall, even if I can't physically see them touching right now. My question is: is this even legal? Even if this monstrosity is technically sitting on his own land, it’s practically glued to our wall. By doing this, hasn't he effectively blocked any way for us to access that section of our own wall or roofline?
I'd say you should probably report him to the local building inspector for illegal construction; I'm almost certain there isn't a single permit on file for a structure like that.
