Water from neighbor´s roof comes down onto our backyard.

Our neighbor´s downspout goes directly into our back yard. When it rains, the water from his roof comes in hard and heavy. We have only one floor drain in the yard, and it usually doesn´t take long and the drain is blocked with leafs and other debris and the water level begins climbing. This is not much of a problem when someone is home and can clear the leafs and debris. But this is not a sustainable situation. Does anyone know what the legal situation is? In order to solve the problem entirely, the neighbor would have to repipe his storm water system, which is costly, I am sure. Thankful for suggestions, insights, experiences.

Do you have a picture of the roof or spot where it comes over?
