Decks require Development permits. The city grants lots of development permits for existing decks, but one built right to the property line might be a little bit of an issue.

Ask to see the property reports, then decide what you want to do, then have a meeting with the new owner. Be cooperative where you can, that will help them to look out for you as well as themselves.
Thanks guys - one bit of info I forgot to mention - this is a 3 unit townhouse complex. Although I did get the registered condo plan at purchase, I'm not aware of any RPR for this. If there is one, would Registries have one? Were RPR's available in 1981?

You're right - a little visit from the new neighbors during the earlier stages (I'd of taken a letter) to explain the situation would have appreciated. Instead, they drive a Bobcat through the g/f's garden. WDF? Whatever happened to good ole' courtesy?

Fact is the house is built - rather than get into a huge battle over the property line - I'm hoping we can figure out a compromise on fencing. Sigh...after battling it out 5 years as Board Prez on a couple condos.... I'm getting tired of expending so much time fighting these fights.
