Neighbor's tree damage

[Mauricio Hernández]

HI;

I am in the process of rehabing my first flip. The brick fence on the back needs to be replaced and the damaged was caused by the tree thats on the back yards neighbor's property. I have been told that the neighbor should be responsible for cutting down his tree and for replacing or fixing the damaged cause to the fence. by the looks of the neighbors house this is not likely to happen but I am going to give it a try. wondering if any of you have been faced with a similar situation and if you have some advice to give.
