Contractor used my vacant lot as a dumping ground

[Shaun Hunt]

So, what happens when a home is built next to my vacant lot and the lot is used as a dumping ground for the contractor?

  A field fence was removed so that they could build a block wall.  The fence was discarded in a big pile on my side of the block wall.

When the foundation was poured, they emptied the remaining cement and cleaned out the trucks on my lot.

As they worked on the wall, they dug a trench and piled the dirt on my side.  

The mortar and cement from the block wall was also dumped on my side.

I sent a text to the general contractor and left a message with the city building inspector.  

What else has anyone done in the same situation?

Thanks!

@Shaun Hunt In the realm of Real Estate issues, this isn't a big deal.

Have you asked the site superintendent or foreman to have his guys clean it up? A text is easy to ignore, a guy standing in front of you isn't. 

Step 1 doesn't always have to be a lawyer. In a case like this getting one involved would hurt more than help since there is such a minor amount of true damages.
