Property Owner v. Neighbor: Annex Demolition Due to Zoning Violation

A property owner brought an action against a neighbor concerning the construction of an annex to a house, alleging it violated municipal regulations regarding the minimum distance from the shared property line and seeking its demolition. The neighbor argued that the initial municipal authorization validated the construction, despite subsequent regulatory changes, and that the owner's claim was time-barred due to acquiescence. The court rejected the appeal, finding that municipal permits do not grant irrevocable rights contrary to public order laws, such as those governing building distances, and that such violations are subject to prescription only after the time specified by the applicable statute has run, thereby upholding the lower court's decision to order the removal of the non-compliant structure.
