Looks like several potential points of contention in that picture.
Possible side building line encroachment
Draining water from one property to another
The obvious fence issue
Does the community have a code enforcement department? If so, check with them re: setbacks, drainage codes, etc. Good luck with it all.

Right… but the neighbor encroaching on the other property is mind boggling, or not, some people are ignorant and just suck.

All that said, you can *usually* tell if the side setback is less than 5’ by looking at the side walls of the existing houses. While not always the case, most houses with a less than 5’ setback will have a solid wall on that side of the lot, or simply put, no windows. I have seen some with a 3’ side setback that do have windows on the wall belonging to that side of the lot, but that’s a fairly rare occurrence.

No doubt. Encroaching on a property line with a fence or tree is one thing, claiming real estate across a fence and all the way to the neighbors house is just stupid.

If that is the case, then we may have reached “next level” stupid.
I’d send them a letter and give 2 weeks, then I’d show up with some 8’ fencing material and a concrete saw.
