Neighbors trampoline

My neighbors on Tompkins Place put up a huge trampoline 20 feet long and goes 5’ over my fence. Their boys are out there all day long and that is now our view out the window. Plus the noise. They already cut down the huge trees in their backyard when they bought the place to make a backyard gym. Super sucks. Any advice?

I don’t think there is much you can do but I don’t agree there is “nothing” you can do. You can sue you’re neighbors for nuisance but a claim in NYC is difficult at best. You need to talk to a lawyer and be prepared to pay bc this is not a contingency type case (usually claimants look for injunctive relief and not monetary so no incentive to take a case on contingency). Noise is hard but maybe light. Let’s say your neighbor erected a giant sail in their backyard b/c the miss their time on the ocean and the sail is so large that it blocks all sunlight to your yard. That is a possible nuisance case. Good luck.

More likely, there’ll be a broken bone or other injury sooner. Not that that will necessarily stop the use of it – there’s a great lack of common sense in some parents. The kids could wise up, though, once they see what can happen.

I’d look into the legality of whether the protrusion over your property is legal – it likely isn’t, and you may be able to get them to remove it via legal means. If you can let their insurance provider know it is there, if you can figure out who it is, that might help, as the insurer might have an issue with a trampoline being in their yard. If they remove it, then you should put up a tall fence, so they can’t put something else over your property line.

Nothing you can do about what they do in their yard. The kids will eventually get tired of it.

I think 5 feet above the fence.
Nothing you can do, people have the right to do almost anything they want in their yard.

Did you really mean 5′ [FEET] rather than 5″ [INCHES]? The former is outrageous, the latter MIGHT not be IF they got your permission.
