Unfortunately, my next door neighbor has been pursuing a low-budget, high-impact, no-responsibility renovation that has made life hell for my family and my tenants: rats, debris, cracked interior plaster, frozen water pipes, flooding in my basement, even potential structural instability.

I’ve already pursued things with city agencies, who have been very responsive and have issued the requisite violations, stop-work orders, etc.

Sadly, having to go out of pocket by $20K so far in order to remedy problems caused by this renovation, I feel like I need to pursue the matter in court. Does anyone have any recommendations for good real estate lawyers who specialize in disputes as opposed to transactions?

Thanks.
