A masonry (or concrete) abutment spans from the next property at left) and touches ours (at right). As you can see in the photo, it’s breaking away, due to that tree growing on their flat roof (yes, roof).

We contacted them and they claim it’s not on their property. As you can see clear thru it past the side of our house (ie it’s beyond the plane of our house) this seems specious.

What can we do other than get a survey? Should there be a document we got at closing that shows property lines?

And if try to fix it, would there be liability issues and/or what’s the chance of getting them to reimburse, say, half?
