If you're asking about harassment, that is really not a real estate question; it falls more under the category called "torts." However, with regard to the current legal action against you, presumably it falls under your municipality's "nuisance" ordinance. Generally it is a subjective assessment as to whether your property has become a nuisance. If your neighbors, the police department, the fire department and other officials have all complained to (and about) you, however, then it is indeed very likely that your property does meet the ordinance's standards for a nuisance. I would suggest obtaining a copy of the ordinance (usually available for free from the local municipal clerk's office) and comparing the criteria in the ordinance to the condition of your property. You are (presumably) entitled to a hearing; I would bring photographic evidence if you dispute the suit. Best of luck to you.
