Can You Sue Over a Neighbor’s Code Violation?

Question: How can an attorney help a client when a neighbor violates local building or zoning codes—and the city refuses to investigate or enforce?

The right to seek redress by civil action is at stake. The California Supreme Court granted review, and all briefs have been filed.

The next step is waiting for the Court to schedule the oral arguments.
