Please Help ... NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL
me
79 year old with advanced coronary and vascular diseases, is unfortunate
enough to live next to the neighbours from hell, Kim and Ruhi Snyder,
owner/operators of a Kingston "arts related" shop. Please go to the URL
below and see a sampling for yourself. Your comments, whether you agree or
not, are requested. There is a hyperlink on the page if you wish to email
any comment to me. I don't have an email address for these "people", but
have supplied contact info should you feel it appropriate to provide them
with your comments. I encourage both.
What have they done you may ask? Due to what is indeed a unique issue of
property rights (until 1986 3 adjoining properties were owned by my
parents), access to our basement is via the neighbour's rear entrance.
Additionally, there is an easement (right of way) through the neighbour's
yard, approximately 7 feet, from our property to the street. In turn, the
neighbours are able to continue to have their furnace and hot water tank
located within our basement (why they would want to I certainly don't know).
Anyway, since prior to May 2000, the neighbour's yard has been completely or
near to completely strewn with lumber, metal chards, iron rails, thousands
of kilos of other garbage and included a disabled auto. Most of the time
this area, which is the right of way, has been completely impassable. For
most periods when passage was possible, one had to use extreme caution not
to step on top of lumber with nails sticking upwards and be weary of the
tossed metal shards not to cut one self. Multiple requests (since May 2000)
from myself, my attorney and specific instruction from their attorney
(November 2000) did not encourage these "people" to rectify the situation.
In November, 2000, in the presence of the neighbours, their attorney and my
attorney, the matter of our fence being wholly within our property line was
discussed. They have been aware of this for a long time. Only days of
being reminded in April 2001, they erected a crappy wooden awning in the
rear of their property which came over onto our property. This was done,
obviously, without any approval to do so. More than 2 months have passed
since these "people" did this, it still stands even after having been
directed by myself and my attorney to remove it. With the installation of
the awning, the neighbours bent an exhaust vent at the rear of their
property to discharge whatever it vents over our roof. Additionally, it
appears that the bending of this vent damaged the metal strapping on our
newly installed roof (summer 2000). These "people" refuse to pay to have
our roofer check for damage and repair same if necessary.
Since the fall of 2000, I have been asking these neighbours to remove crap
which they had piled against our fence (and I remind you that this fence is
not on the property line but entirely within our property). In April 2001,
after failing to remove their garbage against the fence, the fence finally
fell over with their garbage laying atop it. This is an older fence and its
health certainly did not improve after being smashed over. These "people"
did re-erect the fence expediently, then proceed to replace all of the crap
that caused it to tumble over in the first place right back against it,
added even more to it including a huge cement step and continued to refuse
to remove it.
Within the last few weeks, these neighbours from hell finally started to
remove a majority of their garbage which has blocked our right-of-way for
years. In doing so, these "people" piled another load of garbage against
another of our fences. This particular fence is also older and already
leaning over into our yard from the weight of their garbage. Knocking over
1 fence isn't enough ... there now going for 2! Actually its 3!! In the
yard of another adjoining property that The Snyders own, there are a number
of extremely long logs leaned horizontally to the ground against a chain
link fence which separates that property from that of another neighbour.
These logs are pushing the bottom of the fence out & up and well into the
other neighbour's backyard.
Finally, and most disgusting of all, I have been trying to have enhancements
made for barrier free access in my mother's home (due to the physical
limitations of her illnesses) and some much needed repair work done. This
work will not only be a great benefit to my mother, allowing her to remain
in her own home instead of having to be institutionalized of sorts, but it
will also be of benefit to The Snyders, neighbours from hell. Actually,
they have also wanted some of this done themselves. They were advised in
November 2000 and many times since that this work cannot start until they
remove all of their illegally stored crap from our basement. In November
2000, these "people" were instructed to do so by their own attorney in the
presence of myself and my attorney. 8 months later I still have no reason
to believe that it has been done. More so, these arrogant bastards had the
audacity in May 2001, after being directed yet again by my attorney to
remove their items from the basement, to tell my lawyer, in writing, that
they intend to install more equipment in our basement.
Well, that summarizes the nonsense, intrusion and destruction caused by Kim
and Ruhi Snyder. Please visit the URL below. Please send your comments to
both myself and them.
Thanks.

You warned them, they ignored, so move their stuff off your property with
EXTREME PREJUDICE (ie, make sure it Breaks as you hall it to the trash area)
do NOT take it back to them, but place it for the Garbage collectors to take
at the
front.
Have someone come, and remove their boiler/furnace from your basement, and
then
tell them you warned them, and see how THEY freak. Esp. when they will have
no
Hot water all of a sudden.
Find ways to make them REALLY pissed, but in ways they cannot SUE you.
ie: you took their fence, and placed it on their side, thus, damaged the
fresh saw (GRASS)
and they had to re-do it, and sue YOU for it. The way to go about it would
be to
TAKE OFF their fence since it is on YOUR property, and take it to the front
for TRASH.
make sure you do this at 3am the night before GARBAGE is collected, so it
gets trashed for sure!,
etc.. etc...

notice, and if it was not cleaned by the tenants/property owner the
city would clean it and send out a BIG bill.
