Naples is a nice coastal community in the Long Beach area. It is a community surrounded by water ways or canals. The property owners along the waters edge are protected by sea walls. The sea walls protect the abutting propery owners from erosion and subsidence. However, as a result of their neighbors failure to maintain their portions of the sea wall system, abutting property owners are at risk of losing portions of their lots as erosion and subsidence takes its toll. Civil Code 832 says property owners owe one another a duty of subjacent and lateral support. Furthermore, the failure to maintain the sea wall may constitute a nuisance if it is threatening a neighbors lot. This peacefull community may be entagled in a nasty fight as homeowners resort to legal action against their neighbors in order to protect their homes.
