“Maharsham [3:376] writes that when the wall was already built, the neighbor can maintain it,” answered Rabbi Dayan. “Moreover, elsewhere he writes that so long as he builds on his own property, he has the upper hand and can follow the lenient opinion of the Maharalbach.”
“Thus, Ari is entitled to build the fence,” concluded Rabbi Dayan. “However, to uphold proper neighborly relations, it would be appropriate to seek a mutually acceptable solution.” (See Emek Hamishpat, Shecheinim 19)
