Not sure if this is allowed in the lounge or where it should be posted so feel free to move accordingly.
So my gf and I purchased a home here in Lake Havasu. New to the neighborhood. We are permanent residents here as well as the neighbors. On one side of my property my neighbor has a block wall on his side of the property line which is all good I understand his property is his property. However his lot sits higher than mine and his block wall is not a retaining wall so it is built on top of the dirt slope per say which slopes closer to my house. My predicament is unfortunately kinda got off on the wrong foot with the neighbor unintentionally and long story short I would like to remove some of the dirt as it is wide enough to park a trailer next to the house but if I park a toyhauler or something the way the slope is the trailer would hit my house. I am not trying to get off on the wrong foot and trying to be as courteous to the fellow havasu resident but he began to say if I dig my dirt out and his wall starts to fall down there will be a lawsuit. Kinda leaves me a little chapped and I'm thinking my property is my property ill dig it out if I want to. Another little opportunity is, some of his footing for said wall is on my property. However I'm not looking to start any issues and all I would like is to park a trailer. Is his wall grandfathered in per say and now it is my responsibility to put a retaining wall in and support his wall in order to dig my side down? Is that a question for the city? Real estate attorney? Anybody in the know?
Anyhow thanks for the advice. Pics attached of my opportunity.
Sorry for the long boring post. Eventually I will have some boating content for you fellow inmates.
