Is the house next to you being torn down and the foundation excavated? If the house is standing and all they are doing is re-bricking the facade and rebuilding a stoop, then they are not removing your lateral support. If you are in a row, each house is laterally supported by the foundations on each side. Unless they are actually removing that, you do not need to worry about your lateral support.

We had to underpin our party wall, which was effectively under our neighbors property. He put a big hole in it when he did his own reno 10 years ago. It wasn’t a big deal construction wise.

I own a 2 family home and I am attached to a 4 family(2 family converted to a 4 family). I think they plan on rebricking, restooping, and re-cementing there house while planning on building on some of my property. So if they plan on trying to steal some of my property – why would they want to damage my house that they are attached to? So very very confused. I say I think because I was never contacted when the tenant worked on the apartment adjacement to me or for the 2 weeks of loud noise. 2 illegal jobs.

OK, I am apparently a glutton for punishment.

outshine, you have been posting here for months and, still, no one has any idea what actual fact leads you to believe they are going to steal your property. You live in an attached house. They neighbor is not going to be able to move the wall to encroach on your property.

Is this about the stoop? Do you think they are going to build the stoop on part of your property? What have they actually done that makes you think that?

The fact that there are noises and the fact that you are afraid of things tells us nothing so no one can truly answer your question.

the fact that you so rarely seem to comprehend the advice people give you here leads to the suspicion that you do not actually understand what your neighbor is doing. Since you don;t seem to know, we don;t know, and cannot advise you.

I heard work being done in the apartment adjacement to mine. Then I heard the 2 weeks of loud noise. This leads me to believe that those 2 illegal jobs were preparation for when they rebrick, restoop, and cement. I think they will try to steal property inside and outside. I don’t know how to stop them if this happens. There will be workers everywhere – inside, outside, on roof.

i can’t help myself. i’m unbelievably curious about this situation. have you visited the DOB website to look for work permits? Also, just to re-iterate what others have said many times here, based on the information we have, nobody here thinks you’re “in big trouble.”
