If the neighbor was a tenant in an apartment building, it is unlikely he is responsible for keeping the snow in check. It is more likely the responsibility of the landlord. However, if the snow had just recently fallen, say overnight, and then it fell on your car, likely no one is responsible and you will need to have your car insurance cover this, if you have coverage.
