We walked out of our house on Sunday morning to find this sight in front of our (all too-close-for-comfort) neighbor’s house. As the photo on the jump shows, a huge chunk of brownstone had fallen off the exterior of a second floor window and crashed on the stoop and sidewalk below. While a little chilling given what could have happened had someone been walking by or entering the building at the time, this incident isn’t too surprising given what kind of shape the landlord keeps the 8-family house in. (You should see the backyard.) This got us thinking about what recourse one has to force a neighbor to fix a hazardous condition like this. In this case, you’re talking about making the guy cough up $50,000-$60,000 for a new brownstone facade. Anyone know?
