Gang mailbox grouping shared with neighbor prop. New mbox.

I'm looking to buy a duplex.  The two I've got my eye on (diff sellers in diff cities) have their mailboxes on a gang mailbox post that is shared with the neighboring property.

I will be occupying one unit.  After I take possession of the property, I want,to install a new LOCKING MAILBOX for my unit.  It's slightly wider and will not fit in the space currently occupied by the existing mailboxes.

To accomplish this, I'd have to pull up the board that all the mailboxes are mounted to and put in a new board that is long enough and then remiunt the mailboxes.  The existing post appears to be strong enough to support this.  But if it's not. I'd replace that too.

My question has to with whether or not I can do this without asking anyone for permission.  In the case of the one im .ost interested in, the post is ON the property line (the marker is literally in front of the post).  I'm not looking to get anyone to pay anything towards this.
