Clear View From Building to My Back Yard: NYC Building Violation?

[Karla Parraga]

Hello everyone,

I had visited a property couple of days ago in the Bronx, NYC and noticed that the building in the back has windows in every floor that have a clear view of the backyard of the house. Even though I liked the property, it made me feel uncomfortable to have people looking at my backyard. Is it a building violation to have such an open view to private property?
