Drive through on neighbor's property

[Cole Puterbaugh]

Looking at a duplex in a metro area. Apparently, the drive-through is partly on the neighbor's property and it "needs to be extended." (These are 2 separate issues). The houses are all shotgun style houses - so they have narrow lots with enough room on one side of the house for a 1-car width drive through, while the other side of the house has 3-4 ft of space before touching the neighbor's drive-through.

The property disclosure form indicated that the owner knows about both issues. 

Who do I contact about the issue? City zoning?

Also call the neighbor and see if he really cares?

There is likely an easement in place that allows you to use the neighbors drive through to access your property
