I live in a suburban neighborhood. There is a forested area behind my house that is privately owned. The vegetation in there is not maintained at all and is so overgrown that if there was a it would present a huge danger to the neighborhood. I have talked about taking care of it and he has refused to do anything. I have a couple of questions. Does he have any kind legal responsibility to maintain his land so it doesn't pose a danger to my property? If there was a fire that came through his land and damaged my house would I have a case to sue him for the damages?
