Answer

Shalom and blessings 

Of course, it is necessary to hear the other side, and it is impossible to truly respond based on the words of one side alone. 

Regarding the main issue: it is clear that there is room for a claim. 

Generally, when a person informs the municipality about construction that is permitted according to Halacha and it causes damage, he is considered like an informer who is obligated to pay for the losses according to the law of Grama.
