In reply to the discussion: Neighbor refuses to grant easement for powerline to new home next door. [View all]DirkGently
(12,151 posts)2. More the builder's fault than the neighbor's.
Or just a miscommunication with the power company. The neighbor's got a point that running a line through his backyard for this person's convenience would devalue the property.
Weird he didn't have to have the power connected before he got a Certificate of Occupancy. How did he even get his permits without a confirmed scheme for providing electricity?
For example, I don't think you can build in most places around here without connecting to the electrical grid.
And he put $750k into the house, but can't do the $28k for a power line?

I just looked at it online. I'd troll the shit out of anybody who built that lot dominating eyesore.

I agree. The power company doesn't usually need permission to work in an easement.
