douchebag neighbor and property line/town law questions

Side yard setback is 10’. Don’t think that is relevant although, as your house most likely pre-dates the code. There is a portion on the Rotterdam permit application addressing fencing although I don’t see what/when “x” requires/justifies the need for a permit. So one can interpret that any fence would need a permit? See if his fence has been approved through the building department and play hardball? Also, I know here in Saratoga County it is easy to bring up satellite images with property lines that you can actually (roughly) measure off of, not sure about Schenectady County…

you can do that in schenectady county as well:

after you locate your house, goto “pin property on GIS map”
