It’s only been 2 months.I can’t figure out what is motivating the guy to behave in this manner.He’s started avoiding me (which is fine, because I’m anti-confrontational and I'm quite angry right now), but I think we probably need to sit down and have a chat to get this to stop.The property code inspector actually recommended that I seek out a mediator to help deal with the guy because he's been repeatedly calling him about the violations.Would you cut bait and run?

Because she was a reasonable person and actually ended up being a good mediator. 

And part of the complaint process is mandatory mediation.  

But as one of the OP mentioned if your intention is to subdivide this and you have all these neighbors close to you.. then you need to go into mediation mode and make sure you have them as allies and not enemies they can cause you far more harm in the land use process than simply bugging you about walking on your property.. the cost of perfect some silly  right to walk on your property is far more than anyone is going to spend in the real world unless your land locking them.

she refused mediation so we had a non jury trial.

The points made here are very valid in that don't expect that that it's an easy route, and definitely don't expect Airbnb to be a fair mediator.

The process takes a year and has mandatory mediation.  

The process would probably take a year, and would include mediation at some point.  

For the next 6 hours, as each case is called into mediation, I’m not sure whether to wait in the courtroom or hallway.

Then, eventually, it goes to a mandatory mediation session, where you could tell them you didn't feel it would be right to put an all female household potentially at risk with an unwanted male roommate.
