Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
septic system
i have owned a house for 16 years.
it used to be a carriage house to my neighbors.
they recently capped off my septic drain pipe because it ran through their property.
i now have to keep pumping the tank out weekly costing me 250$ every time.
is there a grandfather clause allowing me to keep it as is was seeing how i bought it this way.

Re: septic system
This is a very interesting problem.
I have a client who has the same situation. She purchased a portion of a building which had the sewer line running through another portion of the building that was then sold to someone else. The other owner did the same thing.
I am pursuing a claim in court saying that the sewage line is my clients property by right of adverse possession - open and notorious use for at least 10 years.
I am afraid that you are going to have to go to court to resolve the matter.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me.
