There is no need for a permit for a fence 6' or less. This is 7'. The

Talk to the neighbor, express your concerns. If he tells you to go

**** yourself, call code enforcement and ask them to enforce the code.

They have the power to make him move the fence or face fines.



There is no question that I can have him get in trouble for having the

fence too high. But I am not aware of any building code that says the city

will step in if the fence if over the line. But maybe there is.



I just e-mailed the contractor. I had been trying to not rub him the wrong

way. He has some capabilities that not all contractors have. I have been

hoping to hire him for projects at my house. This e-mail may burn my

bridges with him.



It defies reason that you're emailing the contractor, the architect
and not talking to the owner. If I was either of those guys, I wouldn't
talk to you.
