Description

Approximately 1 month ago, my neighbors and I witnessed people from 161 Lexington ave. trespassing from their backyard onto our property to cut down trees in a small patch of woods. We walked over and had a polite conversation with the owner explaining our property of our condo complex extends 50 feet beyond our fence. He said he understands and he won't come over there again. On Friday November 25th he had people back on our property cutting down trees. I pleaded for them to stop but my response was "no English" and the cutting continued. Furthermore, the owner is using his backyard for a commercial business, of which, he is not zoned for. My neighbors and I were willing to forget and forgive about damage already done and ignore the commercial business, however, the owner completely ignored our request to stay off of our property, which leaves me know other choice than to file our complaints.
