What to do if my new neighbor erected a 6 foot wooden fence and put the ugly side of the fence toward my property?
There was an existing chain linked fence on my side. Where do I find any ordinances governing this issue? I looked into the zoning ordinances and didn’t find it there.

If you do not like the fence that your neighbor placed between yours and his/her property and want to see if it can be removed for assorted reasons, you need to contact your local building and permit department for where your property is located and discuss the situation with its representative and to see what if any recourse you can get through such entity concerning this fence issue.
