Call the city. Since you clearly live in one and don't get out much.


That's a possible solution if it's a code violation. But as someone here posted already, the Authorities may not GAS or have the financial resources to deal with it either.

I'm thinking it might be best to talk to said neighbor and be prepared for an answer similar to "I like my trees", as it seems the neighbor lets his fencelines go wild.
