With a little effort, Reuven is able to see into his neighbor’s window from his backyard. He now wants to extend the deck in his yard to make room for a large sukkah. From the new deck, he will have a much clearer view of his neighbor’s window. Is he allowed to make this extension?

Generally speaking, what are a person’s rights when it comes to zoning laws? To give a specific example: Reuven wants to build a fairly typical type of construction, and nothing in the halachos of nizkei shcheinim dictates that he can’t do what he wants to do. However, he needs a variance from the local zoning board to get the zoning he needs for his project. His neighbor Shimon is opposed to the project and wants to stop it by lobbying the zoning board not to grant the variance. Is he allowed to do that?

We previously said that a neighbor has no standing in bais din to stop a yeshiva from opening in his residential neighborhood.
