I think this line's mostly filler.

Not the only one, I'm sure.

But if you share a wall with someone, you can't pretend you don't. Even if you have a standalone house, you can't do something that crosses over to your neighbor's property with impunity.

More detail on the story.
Quote:
During earlier court proceedings, both families agreed to inspections of their houses. Inspectors discovered cracks in the common wall between the homes. Inspectors also said that the chimney on the Gray home was decaying and as a result was sending smoke from the Gray home into the Coppinger’s home.
“If they just get these things fixed, the lawsuit will go away. This isn’t about the money,” Nessa Coppinger said.
Before filing the lawsuit, she said she and her husband sent several letters to Gray and his family trying to get them to agree on the fixes. But she said the letters were ignored.
“If they continued to refuse to speak with us or to take any action, and have no concern about the health of our children, we had to pursue our case,” she said.
“This lawsuit would probably be gone tomorrow if they got it fixed and brought it to code,” said the Coppingers’ attorney, Eric Klein, a colleague of Nessa Coppinger’s at the law firm Beveridge & Diamond. “It would all end. We just want the house to be safe for these children.”
