    Neighbor began construction of this structure last year. We reported it because we were unsure if they had obtained permits to build and also because they built the structure leaning against our house. The construction stalled and they haven’t done anything to continue or to take the structure down. The structure has been exposed to the elements now for almost a year. We are concerned it may fall or damage the side of our house that it is leaning on.

    5 Herbert Pl Jersey City 07306, United States - Journal Square

    Very unsafe work and built illegally. I watched them build and someone is going to get hurt. There is no footing for the “porch “ they built either. Tried to build it without the city finding out. All the construction material is loosely put together and not stable.

    I also can hear work being done on the inside and saw them pay the city garbage man to take away construction debris

    I posted this issue a month ago when I observed 2 bowing lintels exhibiting significant rust jacking supported on distressed brick masonry creating impo a safety concern. The other day JC stated condition was abated. But all I see is that open joints were repointed, lintels were scrape/painted, and horiz joint was packed with mortar. If this was the extent of the repair then the bowing lintels were not addressed and perhaps a slight increase to the weight they support.

    There is a new house/apartment building being built next door in place of a burnt house that was standing there. When the new owner demolished the burnt house that was on that property, he caused damage to some items in our yard due to piece of wood, etc. falling into our yard. These items include a plant, two light fixtures, and chips in our fence. The owner of that new property initially agreed to reimburse us for the damage he caused to our yard but he has now stopped responding to our requests to fix these items. And now, as the new house is being built, the fence that separates our properties is tilting towards his construction and bending away from ours, due to the weight of the building he is creating. We requested that he fix this as well but he has ignored our requests yet again. What can we do about this?
