Hahaha I wrote the original of thus article and I am all here for the update. Haha I love it. This made me happy today.

I'd ask them politely to move it back to their side of the property line. Then, if they want to be cunts about it you move on to legal. If legal can't help take a chainsaw to the part that is on your side of the property line.

Libby Hill Park is quite nice in the chilling category. Also, grab a bike and hit the Capital Trail

Yes but I text or email to have things in writing. Seems to keep them from going off the deep end or repeatedly trying to push their agenda when permission already denied. I’ve had to consult a lawyer about them. I’m an old and these are the first neighbors I’ve EVER had trouble with. And I’m not the only one…they don’t get along with any other neighbor around them. My situation came to mind reading about the fence on others property. Hope OP gets some help with his neighbors soon.

I'm going on nearly 2 years to sort out our water/trash bill with the city after we moved- they confirmed in writing multiple times that we had requested shutoff on X date and that we shouldn't have been billed for the next 4 months when we didn't live there, but the bill wasn't adjusted. They tried to take my tax refund last year, I contested it, they gave me my refund but are STILL sending me bills. I'm gearing up for the fight again this year now that I have filed. If it was less than $100 I would just let them take my money so I could move on...

Skip Scuffletown Park, it's one big public urinal.

Question, just out of curiosity: If a survey is done, do they send that to the City/GIS Dept to fine tune the GIS maps?

if you see me kicking rocks, mind ya businesses Gonna go play mini soccer w rocks now 😂😎

kick rocks

like actually kick rocks, not like 'f*** off' kick rocks

You seem like you’re being extremely cool about this.

If it’s a few feet of land that you really don’t care about you could offer to sell him the property that the fence is on.

GIS parcel boundaries are absolutely not precise enough for something like this.

Someone else managed the economic sanctions the us has, that’s probably what it was. Definitely annoying and dystopian af though.

Eeeewwww. I was afraid that was the case; I was just so spirited about my idea because I’ve been on the receiving end of that in a nonsensical scenario and the city was probably more aggressive than an attorney would haven been, for the same infraction.

>There is nothing that the City can do about this issue; this is a private matter between the individual parties and must be resolved in civil court. Fences and privacy walls (or certain other structures) that are on your property without your permission are a civil matter between the owners and the City typically cannot force their removal. Contact an attorney experienced in real estate or property law in matters regarding property line disputes. The property survey will typically show all improvements on the property, including fences, walls and building setbacks, that may also help assist in determining the location of your property line.

Lake Rooty has a lot. they also have floating logs, so if you like to watch turtles play "king of the hill" on floating logs, check it out. (Lake Rooty is in Innsbrook)

This is so sad. I can’t even imagine. They should put those DeChoker devices in schools.

Thank you so much— I will DM you!

Is there more than one on Hull? Heck, I wasn't even getting down into Brandermill.

The Food Lion-s-. You forgot the s.

Oh ok, my apologies for such a brash response on my end. Seriously, look into the city of richmond and zoning. This really seems to be something they should take care of, but so do roads…

Think of it like calling law enforcement except it’s for property infringement, which is a civil matter. The city has a tremendous amount of power via fines, leins, even escalating it if needed - that’s not to say RVA will do all of that, but that’s where I would start since the city never hesitates to get into your business when they decide it’s appropriate.

Have you talked to your neighbor about it?

Not again.
