Neighbor harassment question

[Negar P.]

Hi all,

We got our first deal in March and we are in the process of remodelling it for a house hack. We have an adjacent neighbor that has harassed us and our contractors multiple times in different occasions. Anytime someone new comes to our house he comes outside and turns on his car alamrs (has multiple huge vans with loud alarms). He has made a scene in front of our house 3 times so far for different stupid reasons. The last one was today, when our contractors were interrupted in the middle of their lunch by firfighters jumping inside the house from open windows! Followed by gas company people. Our contractor also got a call from the city. Turns out our neighbor has called them all claiming he smells gas and fire. Both the gas company and the city checked on our contractor's work and said it is correct and there is no trace of gas (the valve had been shut off from the beginning of the remodelling in March!). Our contractor also got this in writing from the gas company that there was no trace of gas leakage or anything.

This neighbor also has caused similar issues for the other adjacent house to his and a couple of other houses in the neighborhood.

Anyway, I wonder what you guys would do in a similar situation? We are particularly worried about this guy causing issues for our future tenants or even worse, causes all prospective renters to run away from this property just because of his craziness. Should we talk to the Sherrif or a lawyer?
