Frustrated residents have told how construction in their neighbors’ driveways has led to a series of safety hazards.
Residents are outraged by the unfinished subdivision property in Boise, Idaho – with many having to dodge wooden boards and metal rods before some were removed.

“At least 15 people stumbled upon this at night,” seethed Ryan Monteleone, who lives near the subdivision between S. Curtis and S. Janeen roads.
“I asked the guys when you’re going to finish – he said I have no idea.”
Construction would have started more than two years ago, according to Idaho News 6.
He continued: “They came to me in December and said do you mind it’s going to take us two weeks if we dig this up and redo it, I said ok no problem a month later they’re nowhere to be found so I finally got to rock , and filled my garage.
“They have no respect for their neighbors.”
Ryan also claimed that construction crews destroyed his tree and mailbox without his permission.
Fellow resident William Griffith also railed against the ongoing roadworks.
“Things tore and scattered, I mean, holes opened in front of my house. I had a ditch in front of my house that was about five feet deep and about eight feet wide,” he said.
The reason for the delay is because the new developer, Dean Briggs, had to resubmit the project application.

LEAVE IT ALONE
It turns out that a homeowner sued his neighbor and got into a boundary dispute over a plan to cut down trees.
Michael and Cassie Patriarca bought their home in Warren, Rhode Island, about 10 miles south of Providence, in 2022, but said their neighbor had taken legal action and blocked their construction plans.
The Patriarchs said they wanted to cut down a row of trees to build an extension on the left side of their home on Overhill Road.
A problem arose when his neighbor Walter Felag, who was a state senator for 25 years, said the trees were the boundary between the two properties and could not be cut down, according to the NBC affiliate. WJAR.
“It’s my property, I’ve maintained my property for over 40 years,” Felag said.
A survey showed that the boundary of the Patriarch’s property was 4.2 meters beyond the trees, but Felag sued his neighbors in August 2022, citing a legal principle called the limit of acquiescence or adverse possession.
The Patriarchs claimed that the dispute forced them to change their estate plans, which they said cost thousands of dollars, and added that they were unable to sell the house due to the legal action.
“We can’t do anything until this is resolved and that will take years,” Cassie said.
“The scary part is that it can happen to anyone.”
