The short answer to your question is nuisance law. You have to provide an ad litem notice if you intend to sue the city. If that is your intention, you will need to hire an attorney. Feel free to call my associate, who is an excellent nuisance law attorney.

It's called the law of tort and it applies to anyone who alters his/her property in such a way that it causes damage to a neighbor. Consult with a local attorney.
