Drain Pipe in backyard

My brownstone is almost 100 years old, and my neighbors attached bdlg. is the sister to mine. Bdlgs. were once owned by same owner who put the drain pipe for my bdlg on my neighbors. My neighbor is now asking me to move the drain pipe (the one that leads from the roof to whatever source) because he plans renovations. Sounds costly, & after 100 years why now? Do I have to?

Yes, I have the pipe of the bdlg. next to mine which , also, at one time, was owned by same party. He had 3 bdlgs. in a row. I'm in Boerum Hill, and when I stand in my backyard it looks as if most of the bdlgs are set up this way.

That's the way it looks to me as well. All the pipes appear to be on the adjacent buildings. I don't want to get into a tiff w/ my long time neighbors, nor do I feel inclined to spend a bunch of $$$$
