Sir, is it possible for an owner to build temporary roof shed with steel rods inserting into the common boundary wall for roof support without set back area without the neighbor's consent?

A.Dear Client,
The construction of any structure, including a temporary roof shed, that involves encroachment onto a common boundary wall or a setback area typically requires proper legal permissions and consent from the affected neighbor. Building regulations and property rights vary by location, so it's important to consult with local authorities and possibly seek legal advice to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. Here are some general considerations:

Local Building Codes: Local building codes and regulations dictate what can be built on your property, including setback requirements and boundary wall considerations. These codes are usually enforced by municipal or local authorities.

Property Rights: Common boundary walls usually belong to both neighboring properties, and any modification or encroachment on them may infringe on the rights of the neighboring property owner.

Neighbor's Consent: It is typically advisable and courteous to obtain your neighbor's consent before making any changes that may affect their property or rights. If you plan to use their side of the wall for support, their permission is especially crucial.

Encroachment Laws: Some areas have specific laws addressing encroachments onto neighboring properties, including common boundary walls. Violating these laws can lead to legal disputes and potential fines or penalties.

Permit Requirements: Depending on the size, type, and location of the structure, you may need to obtain a building permit from your local authority. This process often requires submitting plans and obtaining approval.

Legal Consequences: If you proceed without proper permits, consent, or compliance with local laws, you could face legal action from your neighbor, fines, or orders to remove the structure.

Alternative Solutions: Before considering any encroachments, it's a good idea to explore alternative solutions for your needs that don't infringe on your neighbor's property rights. This might include modifying the design or location of your structure.
Thank you.
