My only recourse is to call 311, and they’ll have to bolster their fireproofing, but the lack of attention means that this house will permanently be ridiculously close to my house. I’m watching these guys build this place and it’s so poorly constructed. The floor joists are nailed to the foundation haphazardly - these places are going to sell for $850k, and they’re junk.
Fence is entirely on my property my house is 1.4 m from the fence:
This is the view from my side window:

Contact the subdivision and development appeal board:

There is no way they are within code for that side yard, and its likely because they didn't get the proper development permit (different from a building permit). There is so little room between the house and the fence I'm not sure how they would ever do maintenance on the exterior?
Phone these guys up and complain and you can probably get this stopped in its tracks, plus they'll be forced to fix it on their own dime. This is exactly the sort of situation the appeal board is there for, when people just ignore the rules and think they can get away with it.
