Neighbors Fence / Retaining wall collapsing

My neighbors fence / retaining wall is collapsing onto my property. The town says this is a civil issue while I believe it's something that the town should enforce.

Can someone advise?

Thanks

Sorry, but I think it is a civil issue. Depending on the amount involved (to clean up the mess) you could take them to small claims court for an amount under $2,000. Start with a demand letter, so they cannot claim they did not have notice of the problem or of your desire that they should clean it up.  For more information or to post a question, visit our MA Real Estate Law Discussion Forum.
