Hello,

Wondering if I could get thoughts/advice ref this.

I purchased a gut renovated multi family home in BK in 2019 – l new roof etc and professional survey done with photos etc. House isn’t detached

Last month due to the floods there was a minor leak. When the roofer went to fix roof there was heavy duty industrial junk dumped + other things so he wasn’t able to fix the roof. I and the tenants were unaware of this – don’t visit/use the roof.

The neighbor next door recently has solar panels installed and a new roof and it seems based on that the items were dumped on my roof (including a steel rusted exit shaft that required 2-3 people to cut and or remove by hoisting down via ropes) and their proximity to that side, and the fact that he has a new shaft that it might be from the work his contractor did. Even bricks were thrown on my roof (assumed all this has been there at least 1-2 years) and melted and stuck to my roof)

It is costing ~ 4 figures to get this removed and the damage to be repaired before the roof is even resealed. The neighbor refuses to take resp onsibility and has attributed it to the neighbor on the other side – haven’t been able contact this person as he is a landlord and doesn’t live at that property.

Based on assumption, it clearly has to be on of the two houses – left or right. My house is the only gut renovated one with a new roof, clear of debris, and I’ve not needed to have any work done.

Any tips/advice on how to address this? I want to notify the neighbors of the issue, what I’ve had to pay and repercussions, including legal, of if this happens again.

Thank you

Maybe you can use google maps photo history to figure out when the stuff was put there and whether the shaft matches? Contact the roofer who did the neighbors roof….seems like they would be the party responsible for leaving the material up there.

Thank you! The contractor of one took the call once and now won’t return the calls. The items are heavy duty items that cost a lot to remove – clearly it was easier to dump all this on my new and clear roof. I’m wondering if there’s any advice on how to contact the neighbors to ensure this doesn’t happen again and consequences if it does.

Sheesh. Did you go through your insurer? It would be nice if they sued the neighbor.

Google maps is a great idea. It’s probably a small claims court issue? Leaving a bunch of junk on a neighbors roof, by the way, is very not environmental of them.

Consider putting a security camera on your roof. I think it makes just as much sense as it does in the front and back yards.

Thank you so much for all the feedback and tips incl checking with insurer and cameras. I didn’t know to use Google maps – is there a timeline to review there ?

On second thought… have you considered just dumping it back on their roof?

On second thought… have you considered just dumping it back on their roof?

Preferable to to do things the right way although clearly that wasn’t done in reciprocation. I wanted to know what I can legally do or otherwise ref this issue so really appreciate all the feedback.

If you don’t know for sure who did it just chalk it up as a lesson learned, move on and secure the roof.
You have no real recourse against anyone.

It is safe to assume given that work was recently done on one roof and their old hatch is no longer there and a heavy rusty one was dumped on my roof that it was probably theirs. This was among other things. However arguably it could be the house on either side. Hence I wanted to know what course of action I could have.

Sorry you went through this. Awful.

Agree with mozeeatupu. If you can’t prove it there isn’t much you can do. I went through something similar but I had no proof. Think about the time and energy you may end up spending on trying to track all this down and if it’s worth it.

If you know the name of the roofing company who did the work, you could file with the DCA and see if they respond.

If you know who did it, call the police. Even if you dont know who did it, call the police.

I see a great National Enquirer story here: space aliens dump metal industrial waste on brooklyn roof.

If google photos can prove that the materials belong to your neighbor’s house, I’d show them the photos and I’d put the materials back on their roof while they figure out what (if anything) they want to do about it. If the photos prove nothing, I think you’re stuck dealing with it yourself.

if you can swear that it was not there when you bought the place, i would press the issue with the police. if it is obvious where it came from, maybe the police will take it on ? i mean space aliens did not dump it there. you had a new roof put on so you know it was not there and did it damage your roof? can you make a case for criminality? illegal dumping is criminal, is it not?

call the police and see what they say. if they do not want to push it, you have to do it. call the contractor and tell him that the police think this is a very serious matter and will want to talk to him and his workers. so ask him if he can get his workers names together for them and perhaps he can meet with you and the detectives on the roof to explain who might have put it there. you might push him into saying “it must have been one of my men who put it there. i did not know they did it” and maybe he will do something about it.

i did this above with some one once and it worked just as i wanted it to.
