Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
You need to look at the CCRs to see what authority the board has. I suggest having them reviewed by a local real estate attorney to see if the board has that right. If not, you might want to seek an injunction.

You have a good claim against your neighbor. You can collect for all costs and expense of repair and clean up, even costs over what was paid by insurance. They had plenty of notice of the problems of rot in the tree, and danger to your property. They turned their back. Sounds deliberate. If so, and if you can Convince jury that this was malicious or despicable you might be able to recover punitive damages on top of it.

Speak to your mother about your fears. Explain your feelings, fears and concerns. IF the problem continues and you cannot get help from your family, then you have no alternative but to call law enforcement who will ultimately notify Child Protective Services, AKA Children's System of Care That is where you may have to go....
