Hello-I am new here and created this forum in hopes of getting much needed clarification/information from the more experienced homeowners. We purchased a 3-family home in Bushwick and are planning to have a iron fence/gate installed around the perimeter of the front of the house. I have tried to do research for any law/code/ordiance specifying how far I can go out, but haven’t found anything. I know that down the block, all my neighbors’ fences and enclosures come out a little over 4 feet from their houses and I was told that I should use the existing line of fences on my block. I looked at the survey that was done on my property, but there wasn’t anything on there to help with this concern. Does anyone have any other information about this matter?
