Question
I have a neighbor who, five years ago, enclosed his balcony with light construction on the back side of the building, thereby blocking my entire field of vision from the living-room window. Two years later he took over an area at the front of the building and built a floor there, then made an opening from his apartment to there and enclosed for himself a yard with bars. Now he wants to close it off completely again with light construction, and by doing so he will also block my entire field of vision from the other side, from my balcony. My question is: may I file a complaint against him?
Answer
Shalom and blessing
Turn to a rabbi or to the local beit din, and if he responds to the summons to the beit din, they will clarify all the details.
If he is not willing to come to beit din, it is permitted to halt the construction by turning to the municipality.
