Some of these issues are covered in Chapter 33 Site Work, Demolition and Construction of the Massachusetts State Building Code, which is the law in Massachusetts. I would specifically bring attention to: 780 CMR 3309.0 3309.1 Protection: All adjoining public and private property shall be protected from damage caused by construction.
Another reference: 80CMR 119.0 Stop Work Order 119.0 Notice to Owner: Upon notice from the building official that work on any building or structure is being prosecuted contrary to the provisions of 780CMR or in an unsafe and dangerous manner or contrary to the approved construction documents submitted in support of the building permit application, such work shall immediately stopped. The stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property involved, or to the owner's agent. or to the person doing the work; and shall state the conditions which work will be permitted to resume. I believe this is also the jurisdiction of the State Conversation Commission. Does anyone know if they have been aware of the situation and been contacted?
