I am trying to find out what kind of legal action I can take, and if I should sue the town or my neighbor?
I purchased my home 9 years ago more then half of that has been spent in hell…When I moved into my house there was
a well kept field/lot ……. NOW the field/ lot is a horror its full of junk cars, junk, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, 4 YAPPY schnauzers PLUS a pit bull that bark almost non stop
They moved a trailer in and its parked against town ordinances they actually bargained with my neighbor to stop harassing us and they would let them
put the trailer in even though it does not have enough space… Needless to say he DID NOT stop harassing infact it got worse. He also bought crack trailers from the next town called Stratton. they are not hooked up they are just used for storage either way once upon a time the town passed a ordinances against trailer. The town has ordinances against so many animals but they refuse to abide by them as our town has NO law enforcement. They also have a ordinance that you can only have a pile of junk so many feet by so many feet I have went to the town and begged for help because his chickens was coming over and destroying my yard
his dogs was defecating in my yard all this lead to a restraining order due to him threatening to kill my kids my dogs and me. ( all of his screaming and yelling was caught on tape via 911 ) I have spent thousands and thousands on my house adding a screen porch a deck and redoing every room in my house. With all the junk and smells and the fact it looks like I live across the street from a crack village am concerned at what it is doing to my property value. I am also concerned that I wont be able to sell my house ( who wants to live across the street from a junk yard I can never truly express how bad it really is ) I have got no help from the town board because they are scared to death of my neighbor cause he is not all there in the head… I have asked them for some law enforcement and they say there is no problems in town… the fact is there are no problems on THAT side of town. what kind of legal action can I take and against who? I read a long time ago about loss of enjoyment it had to do with real estate but I cant find it now… anyway I seriously need help ! I am miserable and have to take anti depressants and yes its due to my neighbors
dogs barking the stink the thought of my property being worth way less then I paid for it harassment thinking they are shooting guns at midnight when it was a potato gun.
I have my grand baby living with me and spent the night in fear that the fool was going to shoot at my house…NEVER under estimate drug addicts!! We are not wealthy and we had planned on spending the rest of our lives here but now we need out……..
board of health ? I dont think that would be of any help this is a tiny town very rural… I am looking to try and recoup what will be my loss in value of my home.. dog i wish it was A dog there are 5 dogs that bark almost non stop I have nothing against a dog barking.. Heck I have 3 dogs of my own ( 2 Rotties 1 Chi) and NO they do not bark all freaking day…. there is NO law enforcement in this town that means File a noise complaint would be just a joke sheriff department will not help on this matter…. THANKS so much for everyone who actually had advise I truly do value your help!!! I did report them to CBI and FBI teh sheriff department tells me they are watching them but they been saying that for 8 of the 9 years I have lived here…
