@Murri67’s final suggestion in that chain is not just “sneaky.” It is criminal and dangerous. Calling 911 to falsely report a fire is illegal in New York (and probably in most places). It is a waste of resources that could be used to actually save lives. Fire trucks speeding to a false emergency are dangerous (a risk that is worth taking if there is a real fire, but not in this case). In addition, fire fighters could well break down a door if they knock and get no answer, destroying a neighbor’s property.

I realize that that thread is closed, and hope that this does not reopen it, but Brownstoner should not let a direct suggestion of illegal and dangerous activity to be the last word.

That whole thread was weird. I could never figure out what was real and what was paranoia about that situation. There are unscrupulous owners, contractors, etc. but the underlying facts driving the OP’s certainty that an encroachment was going to take place seemed shrouded in mists.

agreed, SoSlope and slopefarm. perhaps the thread was shut down because of the suggestion to do something illegal?

I think the thread is still open — it is a little further down the page and it lets me at least start a reply — though I’m going nowhere near that thread!

I think the community did a very good job of responding respectfully to inquiries that got increasingly bizarre. Minus the false reporting suggestion.

Is moving a dryer vent “foul play?”

Guest User | 8 years and 2 months ago

My childhood friend talked me out of selling my house – this is that serious to me.

Guest User | 8 years and 2 months ago

string(6) "197434"

The dryer vent is suspect – going from steam in the front of the house to no steam and a super strong smell in front of my house – the vent needs air flow. Foul play to me is taking down a fence, while re-bricking your house, crossing over the party wall/property line would result in a call to the DOB.

Taking down a fence isn’t foul play if it’s on their property nor does re-bricking (whtever that actually means). And just why do you think they are going over the property line? Asking for a friend.

Folks – I was thinking of calling the DOB to inspect walls opposite my apartment. I sense that the neighbors sheet rock and out party wall is gone and he has clamps or something that is attached to my walls (devided in sections) so when they are ready they can just pull and take the walls down. The only problem I see would be getting the neighbor to answer the door for the inspector. My other option is to wait for it to happen, call the police and then sue. What would you do? Call the DOB or wait? Thanks.

If your neighbor is actually trying to remove your party wall, you need to call the DOB. That is super, super serious (we had to do work on our party wall to stabilize it and trust me, the DOB does not mess around.) I can’t tell, however, if that’s what you’re actually talking about.

I suspect that this is what has happened to the walls in his apartment opposite my apartment: he removed his sheet rock, removed the party wall, and attached something to my walls that can be pulled when its time to remove my walls, Then build new walls immediately after in my apartment – therefore increasing the width of his apartment. I think this because of all the banging and drilling over 6-7 weeks. However, I have very little damage to the baseboards of my walls – so can I prove this guy did what I think.
