I own a residential property in Auckland. Next door is a Kindergarten, they are extending the building and construction is underway. They have removed the boundary fence and promised to re-erect it afterwards. However they have built a concrete block firewall right up to the boundary, I was under the impression it had to be 300mm from boundary, but it is not. There is now no room for the boundary fence to go back up and if they attach the guttering to the wall, it will protrude over the boundary and water will flow into my property.
Problem is there are no boundary pegs. I have contacted council who have advised me to appoint a surveyor to establish the boundary pegs. This would be at a cost of $1800 to me. I have been going from person to person at council repeating the story. They will not come out and inspect under my instruction.
I spent 2 hours at council a few days ago and once again passed around from person to person. All they have said is they have flagged it, so next time the Kindergarten ask for an inspector for their CCC they will have a look at it.
Not sure what to do or where to go, because this sort of thing is out of my scope of knowledge.
