Hey guys, I have a legal question for y'all. My sister in Ohio has a neighbor that was given a permit to build a garage/pole barn unattached. The building is fairly large app. 30'x60' with 12' tall min. walls. You walk out the back of her home and it's in full sight, right out the door to the immediate left.

Here's where it gets juicy, after talking to the city. The building was approved with the understanding it was to be built on a 2 acre plus lot, he has a 1.2 acre lot. Apparently the inspector did no verification and screwed up. So now the city says they can not stop him but they want to know what do they my sister and brother in law want. They were contacted by the cities attorney.

She called me asking if I had any input. I told her to contact a real estate attorney. I would ask for compensation for the attorney, value damages and trees too block the view. I know there's some fairly bright and even legal guys here. Any suggestions?

By the way, had her neighbor built the building further in back of his yard? They would have more than likely said nothing.
