Backyard Fence Question

My neighbor contends that regarding the backyard fences in a brownstone neighborhood, the fences aren’t shared. Neighbor says, as you face the back, homeowner “owns” the fence to the left, and the neighbor on your right “owns” the fence to the right. So, you can change the one on the left, but have no rights to the one on the right. Anybody have input or “real” information?
